Read about this (http://www.dalesorenson.com/digital_photography/1999_paris/3catacombs_gallery_main.html), then check this (http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1299444,00.html) out. Totally awesome.
Whoa!!!
Foreboding!
Totally awesome indeed ... if a bit creepy!
It's wierd to think about what's down there. Ã, I saw a special on the History Channel about the catacombs and how there's still parts undiscovered and unknown.
I love the, "Don't try to find us!" bit ... talk about spitting in the face of authority.
Sounds to me like the Cataphiles are a little more developed and organized than they thought!
I must say there's part of me that wishes I hadn't seen this ... 'cause Sara and I are planning a trip to Europe next year and now I know I'm just gonna get myself in trouble looking for these things ...
My guess this comes from Thrik? :p my friend copy and pasted from an irc channel with those links ._.
"There exist, however, several secretive bands of so-called cataphiles, who gain access to the tunnels mainly after dark, through drains and ventilation shafts, and hold what in the popular imagination have become drunken orgies but are, by all accounts, innocent underground picnics."
Heh.

What's Thrik?
He does http://www.grimfandango.net/ and does SCUMMbar news too and is on the idlethumb forums
Oh oh oh. That guy. I was thinking some Fark-esque site or something.
Well, I bet we all know who would say: t3r0rriSt0rz!!!
T3R0RR1ST0RZ!!!!
Oh wait, you didn't mean me.
The first thing I thought of was the Last crusade at the entrance to the catacombs, with all the skulls. Only the second link made me think Broken Sword.

Coincidence? I think not!
LeChuck?!
It's all adding up!
...

Well, yes, obviously. The second link was the actual thing I was referring to, the first was just context.
Actually, the paris ones are nothing compared to the ones under the vatican, only 60% have been explored in rome.
But do they have secret society cinemas under them?
I can only imagine what the papal state hides in them, there was some saint guy they found in them for the documentry I saw.
I have been to those Paris catacombs, and let me just say.... it is really creepy. Awesome, but creepy. And sobering.
Man, I did boring stuff in Paris.
I'm there!
Actually I'm here, but If I had more money and time, I'd be watching films noir in a secret skull lined cavern.
Paris is now top of my 'places to go underneath' list.
Cool! I wish I'd known about this earlier. I think I would have gone to see the catacombs instead of Jim Morrissons grave, when me and my girlfriend was in paris in july, if I had.

No, you should have seen both, skipping Morrisson's grave would be a high crime for a true fan.
Morrison's not dead!
then what's he doing in a grave?
By the way, catacombs are fun. I'm gonna be a professional catacomb explorer when I grow up.

I don't have a list of 'places to go underneath', but I
do have a list of
people to go underneath, so I'll put it on that instead, just above Ewan McGregor but below my Geography Teacher.
Morrissons grave would have been cooler if the grafitti was not washed away, and policemen didn't patrol the area to keep people from smoking pot or having sex on the tombstone like in the old days... Still I had to go there to chat a little with him.Ã, ;)

I'm not sure if you realise quite how many people are buried there - far more than you'd be able to fuck in one lifetime, I'm afraid, especially considering that you'd have to re-assemble most of them before you could get started.Ã, The eventuality of this ambition of yours is made even more improbable by your wish to go
underneath these people; the submissive role in coitus is generally not best taken by the only person who is still able to move.
I'm pleased to see the troglodytes have good taste in movies.

Why not use Paris as an in with the Geography teacher? 2 birds 1 stone.
