This coding error occurred in World 1 level 2, which was introduced on screen as “World 1-2”. After Mario had glided through the wall and down the pipe in World 1-2, text would appear on the screen to indicate which new world and level he was entering, as per usual. But thanks to the glitch, there was a blank space where the world number would usually be, so it read as “World  -1”. This secret level therefore became known as the “Minus World”. Rumours of the phenomenon spread through word of mouth soon after the game’s release, before entering gaming folklore…

In 2015, when the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted, the mood was one of bold ambition. Ending poverty, eradicating hunger, expanding education, and containing climate change were not presented as dreams but as achievable targets. The SDGs were a blueprint for a fairer and more…

Hair has its share of uplifting flower-power anthems, notably Aquarius and Let the Sun Shine In. But it also has its share of subversive, taboo-busting songs. Sodomy is a soulful gospel number that lists a variety of sex acts. In Hashish, the cast chants the names of numerous narcotics, and two songs, Black Boys and White Boys, are…
