Haven’t seen a thread on this (foregive me if there is already one)
So, the cops found out that someone - more likely, several someones - had built a mysterious tunnel on some wasteland near York University.
This was no small undertaking - there was a generator for an electric light system, and it was shored up with wooden supports. Looks to have been dug by hand.
So far, no clue as to what it was for. It did not lead anywhere.
I’ve lived in Toronto and have often wanted to tunnel my way out as well.
Police were especiall stumped by the sign left near the entrance, No Gurls Allowed.
Shouldn’t it be The Toronto Tunnel Theorization Thread?
Any future plans on building a prison nearby?
Perhaps it’s the latest thing: a dig-your-own prision. 
“The harder you work, the more comfortable you will be”.
This sounds like something Ricky and Julian* would do. And that Corey and Trevor would fuck up.
According to many posters on the National Post, it is clearly the work of
SCARY!
MUSLIMS!
Who are going to kill us all, unless we rally around Dear Leader Stephen Harper, and encourage him to pass more legislation that will allow the CSIS spy agency to monitor our every movement with no oversight.
It’s absolutely scary what has been happening lately on the National Post site. Every day there seems to be another story about SCARY. MUSLIMS.
And the amount of shrill screaming about this has increased in the comments section as well.
I was actually recently banned from posting on this site. My crime? I was posting that not all Muslims were terrorists. And that we should not jump to conclusions. So I was banned. Because I was not joining the hate parade.
HA! As an ex-Torontonian, that made me laugh 
Arms cache
A prank by U of T engineering students and sympathetic faculty.
Thousands of Yorkies will do their disertation on it.

The veterans of Stalag Luft III — the “Great Escape” POW camp — used to have periodic reunions, and in 1970 they invited Hermann Glemnitz, the chief ferret (anti-escape specialist) to attend in Toronto. His statement on arrival:
Apparently someone didn’t get the word.
I’m just really really hoping that Rob Ford is involved.
Clandestine hockey puck factory? Sort of a black hard rubber market?
Missed the edit window
I know what it is!!! It’s the beginning of the sets for Strange Brew II !!! Hosehound really goes on a digging spree!
Following amputation, limbs are treated as medical waste and incinerated. Are you suggesting hospital complicity?
Something doesn’t add up here, for me. Were there absolutely no fingerprints on anything? I find that very unlikely, don’t you?
And why wouldn’t they just put off revealing their find, and simply watch the place, till someone turned up to go in?
And how can a water hook up exist without anyone noticing? The generator was stolen from nearby. How is it, when it was reported/investigated no one noticed a very large mound of excavated dirt, quite nearby to the tunnel?
I too think it was uni students, just to see if they could or to make a point about the ultimate ineffectiveness of stepped up internal security legislation. At least I hope is wasn’t some abductor building a containment bunker! Shiver
Fingerprints don’t help if they don’t lead to someone already in the system. And they did put off revealing the find. It was discovered on January 14. I believe the police only started to talk about it after the CBC ran a story on it.
Today’s letters to the Editor in the Globe were pretty funny. I particularly liked the Murdoch one:
I think some people stock pile them. -_- Oh, yeah. It’s really cruel to the families. And the limbless.
