On February 29, 2216, the Committee to Designate World Heritage Sites declared that the Great Calcutta Dump; a section of Interstate 5 from Edmonds, Washington, to the Canadian Border; and the site of the 2022 nuclear reactor meltdown in Callaway County, Missouri, were all World Heritage Sites.  These designations meant that these sites had to be maintained as closely as possible to their original state, including making sure that Callaway County would remain radioactive for all perpetuity, not like it wasn’t going to anyway, that the Calcutta Dump could never be cleaned up, and that I-5 would stay... well, ugly... forever.  These were also the last three places on the entire planet that weren’t already World Heritage Sites, which technically meant that there was no place left on the planet, including the bottom of the Marianas Trench, that wasn’t a World Heritage Site.  And that technically meant that there were now all of these wonderful (or not) places that people could go, but nowhere they were really supposed to stay.

On March 1, 2216, the Committee to Designate World Heritage Sites were all taken out back and shot.
