- blackc2004, on 10/11/2007, -3/+259This is a duplicate story and not really a sewer, but built to catch the overflow/runoff from the city during hurricanes.

- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+119The first and third pictures look like the mines of Moria.
- praveenmarkandu, on 10/11/2007, -8/+122holy *****. its cleaner than my room!
- merper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+104I believe the Japanese Constitution requires all public works to be Godzilla accessible, in case he needs a place to rest while fighting Mothra.
- tw0bit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+95looks like levels in the first Half-Life game...awesome
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -7/+95Lame -- Where's Master Splinter?
- sheepacow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+79It doesn't, it's not really a sewer, it's more of a flood prevention system. It's also a big tourist location. I saw a special on it on the Discovery Channel the other day.
- Bob042, on 10/11/2007, -4/+67Obviously an alien space ship crashed years ago, and the Japanese just built a city on top of it.
- corduroyblack, on 10/11/2007, -17/+77Of all things to think while looking at these pictures, I was wondering how bad it smelled down there.
- chadtatro, on 10/11/2007, -9/+67actually in any other place this would be a sewer.. in japan, it's a sexatorium.
- Annas890, on 10/11/2007, -10/+53Thats not a sewer! That's where Japan stores excess floodwater from typhoon rains or overflowing from their rivers.
- GeekyGerge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+40I was thinking that it would be kick-ass for the teenage mutant ninja turtles to live there.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34No, actually it's the entrance`to NERV HQ.
- rebopper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29And how is space a premium in Japan? No one thought to live in the dang sewers.
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -3/+30Dugg down for improper use of capitalization and punctuation.
(Actually, I didn't -- I couldn't give a *****.) - KniteWulf, on 10/11/2007, -7/+33Shut the ***** up. That's twice you've needlessly dugg someone down for a common mistake.
- Digg4all, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27they should shoot TMNT down there. That would be awesome.
- flippedcracker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24in new york.
- Digg4all, on 10/11/2007, -4/+24That is what I think when I look at nude pictures of your girlfriend.
- LexisNexis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19You shouldn't suggest stuff like that, you'll probably end up killing some retarded digger who thought sniffing an ammonia and bleach mix was a good idea.
- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Storm Drain Tycoon -- Deluxe Edition!
- boxxa, on 10/11/2007, -10/+28Those pictures remind me of Half Life 2
- divrekku, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18And I was only thinking this looks like a new multiplayer level on Halo 3...
- hydroplane, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is
- scecilio, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Beware the Balrog
- glasnostic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Japan does not get hit by hurricanes, they get hit by typhoons. Sure is semantic but you started it.
- screwzluse, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I recall watching something on Discovery about the system. That's what I first thought when I saw the first picture. It's supposed to catch over fill from the surrounding rivers when there's a typhoon as to prevent flooding. It's massive.
- ThrillSeeker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12..or that scene in Total Recall with the underground oxygen towers
- j1ggy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11...which is called a 'storm sewer.'
- themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11We all know. No need to point it out.
- Beaver6813, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Looks like a cover up for a nuclear missile silo to me.. *puts on tin hat*
- darkamster07, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10YOU SHALL NOT PAASSSS!!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Playing games like Nocturne, Parasite Eve, Silent Hill, etc.. I have always wondered where they got the ideas for these huge glorified sewer systems... I should of guessed.
- datastorageguy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Stop linking to your ***** blog so I can actually see the pictures through the proxy here.
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Ugh.
American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source sew·er 1 (sōō'ər) Pronunciation Key
n. An artificial, usually underground conduit for carrying off sewage or rainwater.
It's a sewer -- although drainage system is also acceptable. This one wasn't designed to carry refuse/raw sewage though. - wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Only when he's filming shows or movies. He finds the rats in Manhattan too fat and obnoxious to stay year-round.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9"Should HAVE"
Ignorant. - s33k4, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10looks like the half-life 1 intro where your on the tram through black mesa

- jskopek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7So what happens if there's a flash flood in the middle of a tour?
- olimer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9only a true digger would liken such a thing to a staple work of nerd fiction. well done Cenobite. well done
- deskattire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Total Recall. "Quaid.... Get to the reactor..."
- GeekyGerge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I'm thinking its meant to be "in"
- Pilot85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I bet it turns into a robot.
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11Go take a ***** in your hat.
- AaronMan24, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5You talking about the Digg headlines?
- r00t3d0ut, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6i'd love to skate that
