Holy flesh-eating Morlocks, Batman! A scientific team headed by Steven Jacobsen of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois recently discovered a body of water 3 times the volume and size of all the Earth’s oceans combined deep within the Earth’s core. Scientists have expressed deep concern over this new find, stating that if this body of water were to ever actually rise up out the “transition zone”, it would completely engulf the major landmasses and human population centers of the planet. But that’s not what sprang instantly to this author’s mind; those of you familiar with the tale “Journey to the Center of the Earth” , (Verne, 1864) may be entertaining the same ideas…

In 1864, author Jules Verne penned a “fictional” account of a scientists journey to the center of planet Earth, where they encountered many prehistoric plants, animals, and even races of humans, and their devolved counterparts. While widely accepted as a work of science fiction, there are many, including the Hollow Earth Research Society, who believe it to be a real account of an actual journey, i or at the minimum a guidebook of sorts. For decades, stories of inhuman monsters, UFO’s, and other strange phenomenon have been credited as having originated from the “hollow Earth”, however one of the staunchest arguments against the possibility of such a thing is the viability of life within such an environment; namely, the existence of enough potable water to support a population of any size. With the discovery of this gigantic body of water, it could be possible that there is a grain of truth to many of these stories…. Guess it’s time to learn Morlock and take up spelunking!
And, as always boys and girls, remember: You’re not paranoid if there really ARE people watching you!
