Looks like building a secret arctic base is no longer a safe choice for your average mad scientist: link However, no mention is made on how this might affect the Elder One settlements in Antarctica. |

Mind it, with the demand for dormant tropical volcano islands going up, so will their prices. Not sure how this will affect the native cannibal tribes inhabiting them. |

"Sir, I represent IWRFA [pronounced Er-Fa], the International Wooly Rat Fanciers Association, and we'd like to inform you that your 'Secret Jungle Volcano Lair' has been zoned a Protected Area. This has been done in order to promote the propagation of certain Endangered Wooly Rat species, that we happen to fancy. Thank-you!" |

You'd think they would make them submersible, like in the James Bond movie
.. "Mind it, with the demand for dormant tropical volcano islands going up, so will their prices". Yes, even more so, since six just went off in Russia a few days ago. There is a dormant volcano shortage in the world today. I imagine the evil henchmen, and their illustrious leaders will swoop in to Florida, to set up shop, since the real estate market there is under water. They can probably buy an entire apartment complex for the price of a penthouse, which will help keep their ops away from prying eyes. |

You think this is bad, just wait until the giant radioactive dinosaurs start to thaw

"Will they disguise themselves as pensioners"? I imagine they already have. Just look at the number of retirees in the state – seems abnormally high to me. "One problem in Florida is that the waterboard is supposedly really low, making it difficult to build underground bunkers". No problem, just dig the hole quickly, fill it with quick curing concrete, and seal with Thompson's Water Seal – based upon their adds, you could use that to keep water out of a leaky submarine

Who cares? The worse news is that the plans for the dragon tank have been scrapped link |

I thought this is mainly a problem for the inhabitants of metropolitan Tokyo. he worse news is that the plans for the dragon tank have been scrapped Perhaps not that bad – imagine the confusion when people would end up mixing Dragon missile and Dragon tank all the time. It was already bad enough in the WWII, when a supply sergeant would fill a form to replace a lost M3 SMG, and due to some administrative mistake could end up receiving a medium tank with 37mm gun on turret and 75mm gun on hull. |

actually, for the first time in decades the 'snow birds' (and others) are moving out of FL because of it's climbing tax rates
But don't worry, there's still R'ylth (the ORIGINAL underwater secret city, LONG before Atlantis!), Gilligan's Island..(would you REALLY want to go there?) and of course
most of the INTERIOR of GREENLAND. Which I hear is pretty 'empty' except for some old WWII bombers that landed out of fuel and were buried under 250 feet of ice and snow till just recently
I'm sure there's plenty of room for a few secret bases, zombie army 'cold-storage'
(as well as an emergency stockpile of BR 31-derful flavors in 5 gal drums)
since nobody else seems to live in the interior, only around the coastlines. There is that little thing of 'ownership' of the mini-continent
but shucks
if you're under the ice, who's going to complain? The Preds didn't finish their pyramid there in time to meet the lapse of their building permits from the Old Ones
so they got EATEN
but it left a nice foundation for building a HUGE hot-tub if you have a spare UN-dormant volcano available
(and your name isn't JOE?) Nobody hardly EVER talks about Greenland though
it's always Antarctica this and that and underice lakes with lifeforms from 2 million years ago and all that stuff
I think they need a better marketing, real estate and public relations campaign! Slishfully, Sgt DWW-bartentacle on duty! |

Does anyone sue The Blob in their games? How would it be modelled? |

and you can eat The Blob before The Blob eats you. (-: Seriously though. That's a great question, and in this forum you're sure to get some very inventive answers. |
