The Crucifixion. Definitely not mundane (point), comprehensible (point), but everyone would have been speaking Aramaic, Hebrew, or Latin (no point). Plennnnnnty of mystery (point), certainly unpredicted (point), and lots of tertiary information (point). Crucifixions are nasty but not much gore, so two barfs. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :Lin: :Lin:

The Resurrection gets a :Peace:

The Siege of Yorktown. Not mundane (point), comprehensible (point) and speaking English (point). Not much mystery (no point), but axe-wielding soldiers assaulting wooden redoubts under heavy fire is definitely unpredicted (point). Plenty of tertiary detail to see (point). Typical 18th-century war gore, and a lot of it, so three barfs. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :Lin: :Lin: :Lin:

The Wright Brothers. Not mundane at all (point), comprehensible and understandable (point, point). No mystery (no point), but unpredicted (point), and not much else going on (no point). No gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

D-Day. Not mundane, comprehensible, and understandable (point, point, point). Little mystery (no point), but very unpredicted (point) and a lot of detail going on (point). Lots of gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :Lin: :Lin: :Lin: :Lin:

Moon Landing. Not mundane, comprehensible, and understandable (point, point, point). Enough mystery to count, if for nothing else to shut up the conspiracy theorists (point), quite unpredicted (point), but with 1969 pretty well documented, there wouldn't be much tertiary detail (no point). No gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The Mayflower (I'm interpreting this mostly as the landing at Plymouth Rock). Not mundane, comprehensible, and mostly understandable (point, point, point). What it lacks in mystery (no point) it makes up for in the abundance of tertiary detail (point). Predictable (no point), but no gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The Big Bang. Good thing we have our protective bubble. Not mundane, obviously (point). As most of the detail took place outside of our sensory range, I'm saying it wasn't comprehensible (no point). No language, so no language barrier (point). Mystery in that it happened (point). It's tough to gauge unpredictability, as there was no one else around to be surprised by it, but it quite literally came out of nowhere, so (point). No tertiary detail (no point), or gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The building the the Great Pyramid. Not mundane (point), comprehensible (point), but everyone was speaking in hieroglyphics (no point). Overloaded with mystery (point), but quite predictable (no point). Lots of tertiary detail (point), and almost no gore. Final rating: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

There you have it, the first fifteen posts' worth.

1. JFK doing Marilyn Monroe?
2. The making of Sgt. Pepper album?
