it is called 51. maybe it is secretly 151. it would be clear then because as 51 things are not clear. as 151, that would explain what those men saw. up on the hill. sometimes in the day. others at night. they believe what they know but others do not believe what they know. It hurts them to explain and explain yet others say no. 151 is what made it clear then and it will make it clear now. For those men and for everyone. ---

I think you guys missed the most important point in the OP: > [@](#): > > Most facilities like tatare underground Now, does this mean that most spook sites are eating their raw hamburger only when they are below ground?

No, no, you’re overlooking the fish that they only coat with mayonnaise-y sauce underground. Or the powder that they only add to their biscuits underground. Or those kinda-Mongolians that they hide underground. Dammit, it could be anything! ---

> [@S41Freak51](#): > > Most facilities like tatare underground, the only way to find them is use a metal detector to fine an underground 100 kilovolt powerline that travels there I think **tomndebb** nearly has it right. If we can just swear in more metal detectors to act as Justices of the Peace, we could fine those powerlines lots of money and use the proceeds to fund our own super secret underground lair. ---
