...Soviet scientific journals. There he found more than 100 articles discussing the effects of what was called "artificial" radioactive contamination of lakes, fields and forests. Reading the papers closely, he found clue after clue revealing that the contamination had been neither artificial nor controlled. In 1979, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee noticed that the names of about 30 small towns in the region had disappeared from Soviet maps, and that an elaborate system of canals had been built, presumably to bypass miles of contaminated river valley...

So with the help of a somewhat lustful fairy queen, the forest knave acquires the requisite set of used armor and hauls his butt over to a humungous oak tree, which serves as Evil's headquarters.

Such a test usually does nothing more than rattle the china in a few Nevada closets. But this time the shock waves could reverberate around the world...
...McDonald's. There are no familiar arches in this two-century-old Yankee village, however; the town wouldn't tolerate America's most famous golden trademarks. Instead, a century old, black and white New England clapboard has been converted into the only McDonald's in the country with polished oak tables and primative American art. The building is colonial, but the food is McDonald's standard fare...
