So you are saying god has a spiral staircase?

 Shocked   <--- (mind blown)

Thank goodness he didn't live in a one story walkup.   Humans might never have been invented!

It's probably only a coincidence that the spiral staircase has 46 spindle thingies, 46 as in the number of chromosomes there are in DNA.

I did connect helix with dna. but thought that the answer was something else.

so googled around for the second answer... and I found Lorreto Chapel. which might have been completed in 1872 OR 1878.
I think that's the answer, but I'll triple check just to be sure. yea. I think it's that.

Bingo! Weird, eh?

In 1878 a dude presents the DNA double-helix and another dude builds a helix spiral stairway [to heaven]. I'm pretty sure I'm the first to connect these dots, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.

found 2 events that happened all over the world and could be related to each other if one believe in supernatural things. but I still don't know for sure if those events are related to the WOTD directly (although I did find that word on various pages related to those 2 events). plus one of them isn't what I'd call amazing.. more like terrible.

gonna save it until tonight. can't concentrate with all these noises. feel free to throw a hint.  Grin

Helix = DNA (that was the easy one)

Here's an obtuse hint for the other one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf2O3OAQjng (helix + 1 keyword gleaned from its title ---> Google [images] -quotes)

The WOTD is "helix".

The year is 1878.

What two amazing things happened in that year directly related to the WOTD?

Yes, one is relatively easy to figure out, but wait till you learnt the other, of which there may be a connection. Weird!

How is that after I gave you the game's name - http://thefarwilds.com/About_Us.html - you turned around and guess it's D&D? If I had shown you a baseball, would you've guess the sport to be badminton?

owh, my bad.. I would've never expected you to give me a link to the answer.

-answer-

that's a disturbing coincidence... I'm starting to lose faith here.

Stick around! Perhaps, all legendary users on this forum will earn a free ride via Tesla rockets to the stars.  Cool

after hours of what I like to call research, I think I finally got the answer.. D&D? though it doesn't make any sense if it is..

Looks like I have have to connect the weird dots on this one.

The site is The Far Wilds.

Christopher Burdett of Code Collective LLC, the dude who does some type of work for the government, created the artwork for the card game.

Christopher Burdett created his Twitter account at the beginning of October, 2008. On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin White Paper.

Who owns The Far Wilds? Jed McCaleb.

Who is Jed McCaleb? Only the first dude to sign up on Mt Gox because he was its original creator is all.

Weird, eh?

Address
Code Collective Llc, 509 E Branch Rd, Patterson, New York, 12563

I think you're tryin' to trick me into believing you know what I'm alluding (eluding, if you pen copy for BitGold) to.

Here: http://thefarwilds.com/About_Us.html

Scroll to the bottom of the page and see if you can connect Code Collective LLC to Christopher Burdett who does some sort of work for the government.

wasn't trying to trick you or anything, but it appears I was wrong.. guess I'll have to do some more reading on this guy.
this "work for the government" can't be related to some game company, I presume?

^^^ Hint: White Paper.

Don't worry, once you see it, you'll think it's weird.

it's a coincidence. or maybe faked. my money is on faked.

Hint: Who is Christopher Burdett and what work does he do for the government?

no no no.. this is a conspiracy!!

Are you implying that you know what Christopher Burdett is known for in the quasi-Bitcoin space, or are you simply taking a fair and wild guess?

of course I know (but not for sure, ofc). it's pretty easy if you google "2008 [censored]".
I just don't want to spoil the others who's viewing this thread.  Grin
