I removed the Yellow Raft in Blue Water example as it was about flight recorders in aeroplanes rather than mysterious technology.

Half of the folders aren't showing up. What happened?

Looks fine to me. Screenshot and browser type?

Edited by 87.114.151.154 That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

For me they works as well. For the record, I am on Google Chrome.

Weird. It shows up if I try to edit the page, but on the regular page everything between Anime and Video Games isn't showing up. I'm using IE 8, but I've never seen this happen in all the other pages I've looked at. Oh well, if it's just me it's probably not a big deal.

Um... Isn't this just Applied Phlebotinum?

Applied Phlebotinum is a thing useful in-'verse, but viewers can't make heads or tails of it.

I removed the Greek Fire and Damascus sword examples, since they're more properly considered examples of Lost Technology (and are already mentioned there, I believe). We understand the operating principles of fire and stabbing; we just aren't sure how to make these particular things.
