Reply to comment by sleepfighter7 in TIL that in 1968 Bob Beamon broke the world record for the long jump by nearly 2 feet. His jump exceeded the limits of the measuring equipment that had been installed and his jump had to be measured manually. by Lagavulin16_neat

I love Jon Bois so much. His 17776 is a masterpiece of modern creative fiction and is one of my favorite things ever written. Do yourself a favor and take a few hours to read it. Then do yourself another favor and take another few hours to read the sequel.
