Repository of Awesome, Strange & Humourous

William Lyttle is a pretty average man living in Hackney, UK.  Well, average except for the fact that he’s spent the last 40 years of his life digging tunnels underneath his home and the surrounding areas.  Now, The Man has put his foot down and will put a stop to this man’s passion of creating an underground utopia where he will rule as lord and saviour.  The UK government will fill the tunnels in with concrete, but nobody is quite sure how extensive this underground network actually is.  City officials estimate that the project will cost £100,000 and will be expensed by Mr. Lyttle.  This is quite a setback for amateur tunnelers and photosensitive neo-sapiens everywhere.
