Secret Lair For Sale

0 Comments

secret underground base

Got $7.4 Million? Well, if so there is no better way to spend it than on miles of Nuclear War proof tunnel under London.

The tunnels were built in 1940 during the blitz, when Britain came under sustained air attacks from Nazi Germany…In 1944, the tunnels became a base from which the Allies helped resistance movements in Nazi-occupied countries. Members of the secret service, in offices equipped with telephones and teleprinters hidden beneath the war-torn streets, helped coordinate as many as 10,000 men and women gathering support against the Nazi regime across Europe…After the war, the tunnel network became an important operations center for the company once known as British Telecommunications.

And now, I really hope it becomes the lair of London based supervillainy. There, or the top of Centre Point.

wood on mars

This picture was taken from the Mars Rover, near the Endurance Crater in 2004. And it looks like there is a piece of wood – on Mars!I’m pretty sure it will turn out to be something much more mundane, but still, it does look like a plank. How did it get there? Why is it there? And generally – WTF!!

Humanity may be defined by our capacity for art..but not anymore! As if crushing humanity and putting us down the salt mines wasn’t enough, robots are now out to prove they can out-act us as well! Admittedly so far it’s only in a low key Japanese production, but as soon as the ‘robot looks like Mr Potato-Head’ problem is solved, we’re staring at a future where not even Patrick Stewart is safe!
