The kid took over your computer (not-so-useful event)
*You now have a city called "ZWDRFHNSPF" on an icy spot without food one square away from the coast of the Arctic Ocean
*Stalin just got Fission !
*There's a Barbarian stack comprising 1 Paratrooper, 3 Machine Guns and 2 Modern Armors next to your Wall Street city (defended by 2 longbows)
*You just DOW'd Monty and Shaka
*Your army now comprises a stack of My Little Pony (TM) not-so-useful units
20% chances that the cat took over the computer
*Crash to desktop. The cat just decided that he's more of a priority in your life than your playing Civ. Scratch his ears and he might finally agree to get off the keyboard.

National Registry of Historic Places. Every building more than 100 turns old* becomes a museum and starts producing 3 culture. This also happens to every other building that reaches its 100th anniversary. Unfortunately, this also means you need to rebuild all your buildings every 100 turns.

?Rarter-**** (not-so-Great-Lawyer-that-in-no-way-resembles-a-real-lawyer)
May settle (out of court):
-10
+ VAT + disbursement maintenence PER 6 minute unit of time billed... err, settled;
-100% :Culture:
No Great Artists may produce Great Works in this city
No Scientist Specialists may be run/Great Scientists settled in this civilization
May not be run with Free Speech
+3:greatperson: (not-so-great-Lawyer)
May perform one of the following missions:
(1) If any other Civilization uses a Great Artist to produce a Great Work, or a Scientist to bulb a technology, Rarter-**** may issue a defamation writ against that civilisation. This will prevent the great work/bulb taking effect and/or 50% chance of damages. If Iain Hislop (very-Great-Editor) has been born, chance of damages drops to 5%, and Hislop produces a free Great Work (Private Eye Special)
(2) May force all civilisations with Liberalism/Mass Media/Democracy to END free speech AND Representation.
May not be used to produce a Golden Age.

Effect: Uninstalls Civ4 from your computer, automatically signs your username on the great online petition "We Don't Want Civ V!!!!", as a result other civ players start verbally (and for those civvers who know you, physically) abusing you for ever and ever, you go cry in a corner.
There, now go cry in a corner.

Winter Olympic Games (Not-so-useful event)
Can only take place in the northern half of the northern hemisphere or the southern half of the the southern hemisphere (in the following called the Region).
-2 in all cities of the Region on the same side of the Earth as the city of the event, because people follows the live broadcasting of the event.
-10 in all cities of the Region in time zones where people have to stay up all night to watch live broadcasting of the event.
+2
in Canada (if modded in as a civ) because of Ice Hockey and Curling.
+2 in the Dutch civ because of Speed Skating.
+2 in Austria (if modded in as a civ) because of Ski Jumping.
+5 in the Viking civ because Ragnar no longer gets the gold medals in almost every event.
+10 in cities near a mountain peak: Hey, this peak is impassable! We're unable to qualify for the Alpine Skiing events!
The world outside the Region don't give a fraking damn: Cross country skiing? Speed Skating? Bobsleigh? Snowboard? What are you talking about?
