Weird that this gets announced within a week of Empire of the Undergrowth coming out of early access.

The "Con" in both is from a Latin root meaning together.

The "test" in contest is from Latin testis, meaning "witness", from a root meaning "three" (as in, a third party).

The word test is from Latin testum meaning earthen pot, because metals could be tested for quality by melting them in such a pot.

Etymology is super interesting to me.

Also from 2007 (before Blink aired) someone posted to 4chan a similar creepypasta that would become the first entry in the SCP Foundation.
