    I drive past this road whenever I drive to Vegas. After a few times I decided to Google it up and read all the stuff on the Wiki. I’m assuming OP did the same?

      Not driving to Vegas! I don’t remember when I first heard of it, but I was reminded of it talking to someone who worked at the Desert Studies Center

    Awful pronunciation.

    “Zisk” sounds much cooler than “ZY-ziks”

    It was the name given to the shady organisation in the series Kyke XY. Somehow missing in the pop culture references
