Item #8 - The year is 2021. Of all the unique and amazing human specimens on Earth, it was hard for the aliens to choose which ones to collect, but your team stood out as being excessively weird & worth “analysis". Your entire team was abducted and put into an alien specimen box. In grid form, show each member of your team along with a card explaining where they got you (city, country) and a word stating what special characteristic makes you unique.

Aliens have taken over the planet,  but they boxed up a few select humans for safekeeping. 

Happy end of the-last-GISHWHES-as-we-know-it! TBT had so much fun with this year’s final-ever GISHWHES list, and we are already enjoying seeing what’s popping up on social media from other participants. We hope you’re all taking some time to be amazed by what you’ve done and what other people have done and what this community has created. The team is eating actual vegetables, sleeping, showering, going through our submissions, cooing fondly at one another, and deciding what we’d love to share with the world (so those things will be up at some point soon). Until then, enjoy yourself. You did an amazing thing over the past week <3!
