    Boring machines used, of course, to mine Tedium- the dullest substance known to man.

    Wondering why these humungous machines always have feminine names, Ada & Phyllis in London; in my hometown T.R.U.D.E & V.E.R.A (some boring acronyms – don’t ask!).

    Shoggoth I + II would have been my choice… *evil grin*

    “It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us…”
