Where’s the special tree at? Where’s the Washington absentee that never appeared 20 went in only 19 came out. What happened to POW of the Civil War, does the special tree require a blood sacrifice, why does it swing and bend, is it CONSCIOUS, SENTIENT? BLOODTHIRSTY.

[@ChibiMechaGojira]

1: its still in place 2: the 20th absentee is virginia's son, everett 3: the POW were killed near the tree to feed the serpent 4: yes, it does. to feed the serpent 5: to transport them to the metastructure (AKA the wonderland) 6: it isnt, its just a corrupt goverment trying to take controll over an exetremeley strong creature, the horned serpent sidenote: george washington is the serpent.

I vividly remember getting to walk up all those stairs back when my parents and I visited DC back in the seventies. It was so cool to be able to see all of those plaques in the stairwell, and it's kind of sad you don't normally get to do that anymore. Thanks for sharing a great video in a fun format, it really took me back, I am pretty sure I was even younger than your young Mr. Lincoln when I was there.
