Tunnels

Yesterday we brought you the story of the purported "Rape Tunnel," where Rape Artist "Richard Whitehurst" would rape anyone daring to crawl through. Alas, it was just another art hoax. Our field trip is canceled. It became clear one microsecond after our post went up that this was probably a hoax, since none of the people or places featured in the "interview" appeared to have any Google history, which, in the US of A, means you are a fucking fraud.

One weird area I explored first hand is an abandoned rail line that goes right into one of the cemeteries of Fairview. This line slams right dead into the cemetery, then goes right under it into a tunnel! This tunnel has been abandoned since about the 1960’s, after a little girl was supposedly hit by a train blazing out of the tunnel. It is said that her body was not noticed by the engineer until he reached Pennsylvania.

Project Tic-Toc is a top secret U.S. government effort to build an experimental time machine, known as "The Time Tunnel" due to its appearance as a cylindrical hallway. The base for Project Tic-Toc is a huge, hidden underground complex in Arizona, 800 floors deep and employing over 36,000 people. The directors of the project are Dr. Douglas Phillips (Robert Colbert), Dr. Anthony Newman (James Darren), and Lt. General Heywood Kirk (Whit Bissell). The specialists assisting them are Dr. Raymond Swain (John Zaremba), a foremost expert in electronics, and Dr. Ann MacGregor (Lee Meriwether), an electro-biologist supervising the unit that determines how much force and heat a time traveler is able to withstand. The series is set in 1968, two years into the future of the actual broadcast season, 1966-67.

from THE TUNNEL, by William Gass: My dad wouldn't let me have a dog. A dog? A dog we don't need. My mom made the neighbor's spitz her pal by poisoning it with the gin she sprinkled on the table scraps. Feed it somewhere else, my dad said. A dog we don't need. My dad wouldn't let me have a dog. Our neighbor's spitz--that mutt--he shits in the flower beds. Dog doo we don't need. At least feed it somewhere else, my dad said. My mom made the table scraps tasty for her pal, the neighbor's spitz-- that mutt--by sprinkling them with gin. You're poisoning Pal, my dad said, but never mind, we don't need that mutt. My mom thought anything tasted better with a little gin to salt it up. That way my mom made the neighbor's spitz her pal, and maddened dad who wouldn't let me have a dog. He always said we didn't need one, they crapped on the carpet and put dirty paws on the pant's leg of guests and yapped at cats or anyone who came to the door. A dog? A dog we don't need. We don't need chewed shoes and dog hairs on the sofa, fleas in the rug, dirty bowls in every corner of the kitchen, dog stink on our clothes. But my mom made the neighbor's spitz her pal anyway by poisoning it with the gin she sprinkled on the table scraps like she was baptising bones. At least feed it somewhere else, my dad said. My dad wouldn't let me have a pal. Who will have to walk that pal, he said. I will. And it's going to be snowing or it's going to be raining and who will be waiting by the vacant lot at the corner in the cold wet wind, waiting for the damn dog to do his business? Not you, Billy boy Christ, you can't even be counted on to bring in the garbage cans or mow the lawn. So no dog. A mutt we don't need, we don't need dog doo in the flower beds, chewed shoes, fleas; what we need is the yard raked, like I said this morning. No damn dog. No mutt for your mother either even if she tries to get around me by feeding it when my back is turned, when I'm away at work earning her gin money so the sick thing can shit in a stream on the flower seeds; at least she should feed it somewhere else; it's always hanging around; is it a light string in the hall or a cloth on the table to be always hanging around? No. Chewed shoes, fleas, muddy paws and yappy daddle, bowser odor: a dog we don't need. Suppose it bites the postman: do you get sued? No. I am the one waiting at the corner vacant lot in the rain, the snow, the cold wet wind, waiting for the dog to do his damn business, and I get sued. You don't. Christ, you can't even be counted on to clip the hedge. You know: snicksnack. So no dog, my dad said. Though we had a dog nevertheless. That is, my mom made the neighbor's pal her mutt, and didn't let me have him for mine, either, because it just followed her around--yip nip--wanting to lap gin and nose its grease-sogged bread. So we did have a dog in the house, even though it just visited, and it would rest its white head in my mother's lap and whimper and my father would throw down his paper and say shit! and I would walk out of the house and neglect to mow or rake the yard, or snicksnack the hedge or bring the garbage cans around. My dad wouldn't let me have a dog. A dog? A dog we don't need, he said. So I was damned if I would fetch.

Possibly the strangest plan in the history of Czech (O’Slovak) engineering was a tunnel through the Alps that would have allowed Czechoslovaks to access the Mediterranean Sea with their very own beach. The project was proposed by the Soviet Union who occupied the country at the time as a way to coerce the Czech populace into not attempting to flee the repressive regime imposed on the country. The professor of economy Karel Žlábek was forced to design a plan in the 60s to drill a massive tunnel through the Alps and build a heavily guarded artificial peninsula, called “Adriaport”, at the other end. The distance of 350 km was planned to take only 2 hours by train.

The Icicle Tunnel of Death Weird

The year was 1993. Jessica Rosenblum, OG hip-hop head, party promoter, and arbiter of downtown cool, had just found a permanent home for her Sunday night rap party, Mecca. It was the perfect place for Funkmaster Flex, the DJ she was managing at the time, to further expand his following. Peter Gatien, the godfather of NYC nightlife, had a year prior acquired a freshly remodeled 80,000-square-foot nightclub, originally the historic Terminal Warehouse Company Central Stores Building (1890-91) where entire train cars would park and unload. It was known as the Tunnel. What happened next, no one could’ve predicted.

Over the past week we have seen a variety of maps in a number of articles which showed Jade Helm states, bizarre and sudden Walmart closures in 5 locations, a map of Walmarts' General Merchandise Distribution Centers, Foreign Trade Zones and finally, an older map purporting to show an underground tunnel system that spans the whole United States. Today we are going to throw a couple more maps out there, along with the ones shown in previous articles (which will be linked as related articles below) and let readers determine for themselves if the similarities with the Underground Tunnel map, and the maps showing "unexplained, mysterious," booms, hums that have been driving people insane (literally!), and other strange "phenomena" doesn't give them chills running down their spine.

I've made the Tassaraja Egg White Bread recipe twice now, and both times I've gotten this kind of weird "crack" (for lack of a better term) inside the loaf. It's a tunnel as I know it, I took some pictures tonight after cutting into the fresh loaf I made today. Both times I slashed the top and used an egg wash. I roll my dough before I put it in the pan as I would for Cinnamon Rolls, pressing down on the dough in the pan to flatten it and making sure that it's all smooshy. After the first loaf of this bread where the cracking was severe, this time I *definitely* made sure I sealed the seam. Both sides of the crack are smooth, so they haven't ripped when coming out of the pan. I haven't had this problem with any of the other recipes I've made, only with this particular recipe. I'm very scared. I'm sorry if this post is scattered, I'm fending off my kids trying to involve me in their lives while I gather my thoughts. I hate that. :)

Entitled Transarquitetônica, this structure is the work of Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira. Everything starts off inconspicuously enough. It’s just the insides of a mundane hallway. Then the walls start to degrade and mingle with mud like your heading into some kind of underground hold.

A 23-year-old body art enthusiast has created giant flesh tunnels through his cheeks with a side view of his teeth. Joel Miggler, a German model, said he had been experimenting with different ‘art’ since he was 13 years old. First he began stretching his earlobe, then he forked his tongue, then somehow it morphed into stretching his cheeks in to two giant holes. Miggler said the unusual body art doesn’t have a particular name – but he aims to increase their size to 40mm. ‘I’ve cut them three times and stretched them many millimetres. They are now 36mm wide.’. Miggler says eating is difficult but he simply ‘plugs’ the holes like a bathtub when he wants to eat soup.

In other news – Kidderminster College are nearing completion of their tunnel system – the weird thing is with a tunnel system is the closer to completion the less you see of it as it nestles under black plastic and then a skim of soil – but what is magical is what it hides inside and I am sure they can’t wait to finish it and get young people working inside it as a team!

Olafur Eliasson’s colorful glass tunnel comes to life when you stroll through it one way, but if you look back over your shoulder, the panels appear black. The mesmerizing, kaleidoscope-like tunnel is comprised of stained glass triangles held together with bold, black piping. When viewed from one end, the tunnel is a rainbow of purple, pink and yellow, but the interesting one-way effect masks the colors from the other side.

The idea is that The Tunnel is a slickly produced documentary that's similar in nature to television shows like "Ghost Hunters," only with far darker and more dire events transpiring. It's bolstered by an meticulously researched introduction, wherein Natasha talks about the in-depth investigation she undertook before they enter the tunnels. There's an astonishing attention to detail as they discuss the history of the tunnels (which actually exist and where filming took place), and it deftly weaves truth, fiction and speculation into a fascinating tapestry. But the true star of the film is the tunnels themselves, which were used for location shooting. Dark, grimy, filled with graffiti and scattered, aged detritus, the tunnels evolve into their own characters.

So many deaths were involved over the 24 years of the Hoosac Tunnel's construction, the crew refered to it as the ‘Bloody Pit’. On a warm June morning this past summer, we packed up our SUV’s and headed up to the Berkshires. Dressed in our mismatched dark clothing, we headed to the tracks. The East entrance is beautiful and foreboding all at the same time. It was creepy watching the mist bellow from the black hole. The darkness literally devours us with an intense sense of claustrophobia. The fractures in the walls are pouring water down and you eventually become covered in a greasy liquid that I don’t dare call water. I was convinced that I could hear and see things. A shadow beside you in the recesses of the cave. A moaning and thumping that can only be described as a brutal bludgeoning. You can literally feel the oppressiveness of the cave. There is a sadness and anguish to it. Its like the rocks are talking to you but you can’t understand it. But you have to hear it and feel it, it's everywhere. We decided that we would turn off our flash lights and go into total darkness and silence. I was starting to feel insanely nauseous. I was honestly concerned that I was going to throw up on the tracks when something literally screamed at me to stop. What I saw in front of me is nearly impossible to describe. Everything was a foggy blue. It was just there, inside the tunnel, underneath tons and tons of Berkshire rock and mountain. Its mass took up the whole of the tunnel in front of me, like a wall. It was thick and thin, jagged and smooth all at the same time. It was definitely moving towards us though. It was absolutely silent in the tunnel but there was a sound so loud that I wanted to cover my ears. You ever have those moments before something awful happens where it’s very quiet and you have those matter of fact thoughts? Mine was gibberish. Like I had lost all capability to think.

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology measured the brain activity of participants with an MRI while they watched scenes from thriller flicks, including Hitchcock’s "North by Northwest" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much," as well as "Alien" and "Misery." While the participants watched the movies on a screen, a flashing checkerboard pattern also appeared around the sides. The researchers found that during moments of tension in the film's narrative, the brain narrowed people’s vision and focused their attention more tightly into the sate commonly referred to as "tunnel vision", whereas during less suspenseful moments, participants were more mindful of their surroundings. The results of the study are set to be published in the journal Neuroscience. "Many people have a feeling that we get lost in the story while watching a good movie and that the theater disappears around us," Matt Bezdek, the study’s lead author, said in a press release. "Now we have brain evidence to support the idea that people are figuratively transported into the narrative."

Before the age of computers, wind tunnels were large tubes with air moving inside. The tunnels were used to copy the actions of an object in flight. Researchers used wind tunnels to learn more about how an aircraft would fly. NASA used wind tunnels to test scale models of aircraft and spacecraft. Some wind tunnels were big enough to hold full-size versions of vehicles. The wind tunnel moved air around an object, making it seem like the object was really flying.

Some locals of GuiZhou Province, China claim that a 400-meter-long tunnel can distort time. Those who drive through the tunnel, located in Zunyi City’s Honghuagang District, find the time on their cell phones — and only their cell phones — inexplicably reversed by exactly one hour. The tunnel was built years ago, but locals have only encountered its strange time travel side effects in the past year or so. Enter the tunnel at 7:00 am and exit a mere five minutes later at 7:05 am. But when you exit the other side of the tunnel, your cell phone will read 6:05 am, one hour earlier. The phone will correct itself after a while, say a mile out of the tunnel, when it syncs back up to the actual time. Since November 2012, reporters from the Chinese news outlet Gui Yang Evening News have apparently tested out China’s time travel tunnel on multiple occasions, using their own cell phones. They’ve found that the time reversal occurs 80% of the time. Tests from telecom operators haven’t detected anything abnormal, though.

Argentinean artist Leandro Erlich's Elevator Shaft (2011) reconstructed with painstaking detail the interior of a well-worn shaft, turned 90 degrees, creating a slender hallway with the crusted underside of an elevator car at one end. Overhead the metal doors of adjacent floors leaked skinny triangles of light onto flayed cables and ropes and counterweights. An elevator shaft is a space people usually plunge through, and thinking about that had a vertiginous effect, compounded by the fact that Erlich was careful not to compromise the totality of his illusion.

Cindy in the Blue Ghost Tunnel, St. Catharines


In this photo there appears to be a dog's head that formed, looking right at Cindy.


Now this picture shows something that is not of this world. You can see a creature that appeared to be moving within the tunnel that had a long body to it, showing the head of the creature and from the head it shows what would be the vertebrae. It also shows faintly one leg that comes from the vertebrae. My guess would be if this creature were alive this leg would be how the creature moves along.


In this photo it looks like a deformed skull. There was a train accident at the west end of the tunnel. Could this be one of the engineers that may have had his head smashed in from the wreck?


In this photo it shows a form of a dog with its head looking back. It appears to be that of a doberman in ecto form. The form can be seen in the ecto mist from the bottom reaching to the center of the picture.


Again another weird looking creature starting to form from the tunnel. This time the head of the creature is in the center with its legs out in front of it, the body going to the left in ecto form.


I have circled the two entities. The one that is closest to the ground appears to be a cat, the larger one to the right appears to be a large dog. Both are faint but they are there.

Soon there will be a new way of taking in Iceland's second largest ice cap near Reykjavik – from an underground tunnel dug deep beneath the dense ice. Icecave Iceland is due to open in the spring of next year and will enable tourists to take in blue ice at the heart of the Langjökull glacier and understand how it formed. Engineers are currently carving the 1,640 foot (500 metre) long tunnel beneath the glacier and are installing lights to best show off the layers of ice. Langjökull glacier is located north east of Iceland's capital, Reykjavik. It's the is the second largest ice cap in Iceland with an area of 953 square kilometres.

If you ever find yourself in the front row at Coors Field, I want you to stand right next to this guy and make it your personal mission to prevent him from snagging any baseballs. If, on the other hand, you’re there with kids, keep them far away from him. His name is Doug, and I think he’s a season ticket holder, but most importantly he’s a jerk and a maniac. Forget the fact that he had ignored me earlier when I complimented him for catching a ground-rule double, and listen to this… There was a home run ball hit right at us that barely sailed over our heads. We jumped for it, or at least *I* jumped for it. I don’t even know if he’s athletic enough to get both feet off the ground at the same time, but anyway, after we missed the ball, there was a brief lull when were both trying to figure out where it went. Suddenly we realized that it had landed in the tunnel directly behind us, and we started running. I didn’t take a pic of this tunnel, so you’ll have to settle for this cheap drawing. Basically, where the tunnel goes underneath the stands, the left half is blocked by a concrete wall, and the right half has an open door. The ball had rolled through the door, and I was running straight for the opening, about to zoom past this guy Doug when he realized he was about to get beat so he elbowed me from the right side and shoved me into the wall on the left as he kept running…and he ended up getting the ball. I couldn’t retaliate with a shove of my own because my every move was being witnessed and captured by the Associated Press.

A glance at a star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is enough to convince most people that something very strange has evolved in the bogs and wetlands of North America. There’s nothing else on the planet quite like this little palm-sized mammal. Its nose is ringed by 22 fleshy appendages, called rays, which are engorged with blood and in a constant flurry of motion when the animal searches for food. What is this star? How did it evolve and what is it for? What advantage would be worth sporting such an ungainly structure?

A while back, quite a while back, I read of a lady who once lived in Romania. She was one of the worst temptress, murderess, cosmic screw ups, historically on this plane. Everything wise- she did just the opposite to. Her life was full of receiving terror and giving terror. Her name – Lady Erzsebet Bathory, of Transylvania. What lead me to re-examine her life and her ways, was born more from a state curiosity, in the back of my mind I felt that there is a hook here into the Inner Earth, after all distraction and attraction work for one primal goal of the universe’s intelligence – to reveal, reveal-ation. I had taken up reading werewolves and vampires again, since I had spoke with one individual concerning the adaptation of monatomic gold into the body through the taking of blood of the priestess’ of Egypt. A direct line of wisdom purportedly secreted in the mysteries in Translyvania. Following receiving this information, I took journeys into portals around the planet and at one time was attacked viciously, barred from entering the Inner Earth, by creatures that come from this culture of vampires and werewolves. I then decided to take on task, the getting to the bottom of this, at least to satisfy my own need to know, and in that, still another major doorway to the Inner Earth, cracked open. But first I need to find the ‘place of awares’ (the ritual altar), walk down the weirding hallway, enter several circuitous routes, travel through 3 large caverns…before entering the high expansive caverns containing the long plains of the Middle Earth. How wonderful the Inner Earth is.

p.s. Hey. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. Ah, visual artists. Good people. Well, to generalize grotesquely, but ... in my experience, let's say. Mostly. That's interesting about the fear of wide open spaces. A good friend of mine has that. He often has the hug the walls when walking through large rooms. For me, it would be the height. Height fears. Wobbly knees, dizzy. I feel for you, bro. Pym's a lot of fun. And can be addictive. Like Compton-Burnett but not as addictive as her work. Psychologically addictive rather than purely aesthetically addictive. Or I don't know. I think you will enjoy her. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Back in the mid-80s, almost every writer I knew and liked was enthusiastically reading Pym at one point. And Henry Green. They were cuisine. ** Bill, Hi, Bill. Then you'll like her sentences. They can be very often exquisitely sawed off like that. I've noted that Ray Cluley book for searching purposes. Thanks! Hope you won every one of those races. ** Steevee, Yay! Yeah, I do think those theories about Trump are a bit conspiracy-ish maybe. But it's weird to be an intelligent, curious person trying to figure out how he could happen as he's currently happening, and why not have fun with the horror. So curious to see what happens. It really seems very difficult to predict how his thing will end and what the consequences will be, which is kind of scarily exciting. That is a tricky situation with the outlets. I've been somewhere like there too, ugh. Unless the outlet with whom the confusion arose have really weird ego issues, I would think it'll be okay. Hope so. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T. She's a really good, odd sentence maker. If you're into sentence construction, and I think you're like me in that regard, she has a very good, gracefully off key touch or something. Sadly, the Fahey/Krayola album has apparently either gotten permanently lost or destroyed, so I think we're screwed. 'Self-producing' a novel. That's so nice. Totally. One of writing's many, many boons. Sure, later in week is good. Let's find an agreeable time, which shouldn't be too hard on my end. Let me know when you have a sense of when would be good. ** _Black_Acrylic, Thanks, man. Congrats on the new stylus! I'll go hear what you heard but, sadly, without the divine help of a stylus. Sounds sweet. ** H, Hi. She's lovely in her quite unique way. Oh, cool about the possible Brainard/Ashbery book post. I love that book a lot, naturally. Sure, I'm happy to offer advice on the Jarman one if need be. Oh, it's a pleasure for me and everyone else, I assure you! ** Misanthrope, Hi, G. Aw, gosh, thanks, and, you know what? I don't have a robot who makes the blog for me despite rumors to that effect, and I do need to hear that at least every once in a while, so thank you again. Yeah, I agree with you totally about sex crimes. It just seems like, well, if there is the kind of sex in prison that you hear about, it's very complicated sex due to the supposed power issues that prisoners have and deal with in that context, so I would guess that, if true, they're looking for an excuse to have forced, controlling sex without guilt or whatever, and, in their hothouse logic, someone who committed a sex crime becomes the prisoner equivalent of a slut relative to other prisoners, and, thus, fair game or something? Six hours is better. Seven seems like almost enough. Huh, interesting about the U and the B. Ha ha, and you were saying wrestling wasn't fake. All power to the U! Uh, I really don't need a TV addiction for sure, otherwise I might spring for that channel. ** Mark Gluth, Hi, Mark! Exactly. Beautiful way to put Pym's thing. Yeah. We don't know when we'll film it yet. We don't even have a producer for it yet. We have raised some money to make it. Not enough, but a good start. I would love to start filming sometime later this year, but that could be optimistic. Bon Tuesday! ** Alistair McCartney, Hi, A. Yeah, but it's weird because each of the subsequent births will be colored by whatever 'buzz' there is about the film based on the initial birth(s). Not that I've been in this situation before, but it seems like that. We'll see. I would guess that the film will probably play at Outfest, but it's the producers who decide and choose those things, with Zac's and my input and, hopefully, approval. But it seems pretty likely unless a good, earlier LA opportunity arises. I'd rather not have to wait a whole year for the film to screen in LA. I really wanted to see that Greenaway film when it was playing here a few weeks ago, but I just never made it to the theater. But I will see it. Interesting. Year's end! So exciting, my pal! Love, me. ** Rewritedept, Hi. Busy is quite frequently good for me. Yeah, I mean days off are days off, right? It's so weird how parents find it so hard to stop controlling their kids' lives at a reasonable point. When will your promotion go through? You don't know? ** Okay. What's today? Oh, right, another themed one. Tunnels. See if I did the topic satisfactorily. See you tomorrow.
