tldr: An OpenStreetMap contributor got assaulted by locals while mapping a street in Delhi because they thought he was a terrorist for wearing a gas mask
For context, OpenStreetMap is like wikipedia for maps. It is a free and open-source map of the world created and maintained by volunteers. Unlike Google Maps, it's fully editable and its data can be used, modified, and shared freely.

The venerable master Foo was walking with a novice. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, the novice said: “Master, I have heard that property-based tests are a very good thing - is this true?” Master Foo replied: “Foolish pupil - tests are merely a poor man’s types!”
Chastised, the novice returned to his room, intent on studying types. He carefully watched “Propositions as Types”, read the entirety of Oleg’s website and gathered an impressive collection of PDFs. He learned much, and looked forward to informing his master of his progress.
On his next walk with Master Foo, the novice attempted to impress his master by saying “Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that tests are truly a poor man’s types.” Master Foo responded by hitting the novice with a stick, saying “When will you learn? Types are a poor man’s tests!” At that moment, the novice became enlightened.
