That's what...

was browsing and found something interesting to read and just posted it for no reason in particular

Unlike the catacombs of Paris and Rome, the Odessa catacombs were never used to bury the dead. With more than 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) of tunnels, this underground city is so vast and complicated -- there are at least 1,000 known entrances -- that tourists are advised not to enter without a qualified guide.

I never really grasped how big 2,500 kilometers of tunnel really is. Even as I noted that 2,500 kilometers is more than the distance from Odessa to Paris, that barely made sense, how can all that distance be contained in a network of tunnels under a single city? It didn’t really sink in… not until I saw the maps.

The maps of the Odessa Catacombs look like some fractal Borgesian nightmare, like something an obsessive compulsive Dungeons and Dragons player might draw. Like the fractal branching in the lungs, these tunnels can occupy twenty five hundred kilometers of space, because they nearly defy the idea of size, they just fold back in on themselves, in ever smaller paths.

Odessa Catacombs The Odessa Catacombs are a labyrinth-like network of tunnels (subterranean cavities) located under the city of Odessa and its outskirts in Ukraine, that are mostly (over 90%) the result of stone mining, particularly coquina The Catacombs are on three levels and reach a depth of 60 metres (200 ft) below sea level. It is one of the world's largest urban labyrinths, running up to 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi)

i loved pinball back in the day ! grew up on 3 games for a quarter... the hardest pinball game i ever played was "fireball" it had the tiny flippers and the spinner in the middle back in the 70's us guys from the neighborhood knew a trick to get 2 free games for a penny on Bally machines !! how you did it was to slowly drop a nickel into the coin slot until finally after awhile it would stick, then you added two pennies ! the second penny would click and gave 2 free games, then you hit the coin return and you got 6 cents back !! also we used to hammer out pennies to the size of a quarter and those would work too ! but that took a lot of hammering and it almost wasn't worth it , my buddy was a pinball wizard and i learned all his tricks , we used to run up machines to their maximum 25 free games and sell the machine to someone for a dollar ! a dollar was a lot of money back then you could get two packs of Marlboro's for that ! on some of the machines back in the day if the ball was heading towards the drain at the correct angle you merely needed to raise the correct flipper and it would hit the bottom near the slot and bounce back into play ! my buddy had the biggest speaker magnet you could find back then and it was strong enough to trap the ball on the Fireball machine and after waiting for the free game light to go on you could use the magnet and move the ball up to and drop it into the the free game spot ! i always checked the coin returns when i was a kid and you would be surprised how many people walked away with quarters jammed into the change return ! one time it was so full i almost couldn't push the cover in to get at them , probably was $2.75 in the slot that time .... my favorite arcade had one of the photo booths that took a strip of four B & W photos and developed them right there while you waited , some of the greatest poses ever as often you didn't know when the photo was going to be taken even though they had a green light that was the indicator.. i wish they still had one of those around, they do have a digital photo booths but those are not the same...
