Ghost Stations of the London Underground
PinchDuck writes "Check out this site to get a tour of London Underground stations that have been abandoned during the century+ history of the commuter system. You can apparently still get to some of them! (though not by taking the Tube, obviously). I wish I had found this site 2 weeks ago, when I went to London, but now my geeky explorations must wait until my next visit (having just flown back in to Detroit today)."
and there shall be none before it, because it is the first
that's not too bad at all
Where else could Bond meet Judy Dench?
I think my principles are reachin' an all time low

Yes, but be careful if you do try to visit them. Q and Bond might accidentally shoot you during one of those VR simulations.*
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind finding the simulator unattended and programming it to have a little tryst with Seven of Nine and Xev while Natalie Portman pours hot grits down my pants...

I would have posted something funny here, but chrisd beat me to it without even a chance. :-)
Neverwhere was good... I just finished it for the second time a couple of weeks ago.
tube goes to abandoned places in you!
The thing is, 'Informative'? I just claimed that there was a railway line from the Millennium Dome past the Thames Barrier through a Neil Gaiman fantasy world on to Cthulhu's undersea mansion and terminating at the capital city of Hell. I also claimed that there was an underground dragon-breeding project, and that the dome robbers knew about it - has nobody seen 'Reign of Fire'?
There's '+1 Funny' if you want, but Gordon Bennett don't call a stack of 100% made-up rubbish like that 'Informative'!
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
The mods are sorry, but they hadn't a clue.

Ok, I like Aston-Martins. I also like BMWs. However, the company has nothing to do with this--the concept of an invisible car is just stupid.
Damn editors rejected the story!
0.5 is out.
Go to the the mozilla.org main page and click on the 0.4 link and you can download the offical release of 0.5. It really is the offical release, a lot of us have been waiting all day. They just havn't updated the main mozilla.org page yet.
It wasnt that it was invisible that got me, it was the freaking self repair mechanism! What next? Warp engines!
