Yes, it really is that Real Genius here.

The MIT tunnels, of course, are officially sanctioned, and have lots of stairwells so you’re never actually trapped down there (and sadly no little minecars that I could find), but DAMN, they make me feel like I’m in Real Genius.

The guy in that subterranean computer lab looked at me like I was completely crackers. He was kind of cute, too. I thought about posting a craigslist missed connection but it seemed like it might get too weird.

    We have tunnels at Southeast, although they’re not very accessible. A former grad student spent quite a bit of time exploring them.
