My latest mental_floss article hit the web this week.

You can read it here

I had a really exciting moment yesterday when a link to the article was sent out via Twitter by Geoff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG, a very well-respected “architectural conjecture” website. I’ve been reading the site for a few years now and they often have features on underground structures, so my story was a nice fit for their readers. It was really an honor for him to send a link.

The story did make it to Digg, but it died an early death. Eh, what’re ya gonna do?

I’m working on next week’s article as we speak. I’ll save the topic as a surprise, but I will say it’s a “killer” subject.
