Any guesses?

Mystery tunnel: five things we can surmise about the deep hole discovered north of Toronto

Police have no idea who dug an almost two-metre high and 70 centimetre-wide tunnel in the woods north of Toronto, near York University and a Pan Am Games venue.

The initial discovery was made six weeks ago, but since there was no obvious threat to the public, police said they didn't alert the media until the hole was dug up by the CBC on Monday.

But who could have possibly spent so long hand-digging a tunnel to nowhere, and why?

I think a couple of young men did it, just for their own personal reasons.

check out the period at the end of my sentence.

That's how I end a sentence also.

It's difficult to read between the lines when there is only one line. It's a lot easier to read your mind.

Of course, with you...I always assume the worse and hope for the best. Most of the time I am right.

I guess you think, that they think, it's better than being shipped off to some island somewhere...away from the wrath of James.

Perhaps they don't want someones father to know what they are doing with his daughter...does that make them anymore "human"?

Sex sells? Right James?

I see an awkwardly placed comma
Mar 2, 2015 6:39AM PST

and a properly placed period. The comma is where I'd usually put an ellipsis to note a slight pause. Your comma could be replaced by a period and the sentence would be complete but what's left would need some work in order to make an English teacher happy.

even that would have been better. Hover over the period at end of that sentence above.

You do that regularly?
Mar 3, 2015 5:32AM PST

Hover over periods?

WHY would you think someone/anyone, other than an idiot savant, do that?

So, I was correct.

I better when they realize they were punked on their own.

Learning?...How to use hyperlink?

I've known that for years....

Hyperlinking to a period? I don't think that will catch on in gen pop...it may have some use for certain people and certain times....but who knows when. A person could hover over every period they see for years and then one day...POOF!!!!! they get a link, is it worth it?

I've sent your "tip" to this site

Answer
Could be the biblical reference spawned the phrases
Mar 1, 2015 5:40PM PST

about digging one's own grave. Of course it's not to be taken literally but does provide a colorful image of both follies and distractions. The Bible is full of such approaches. So now we have a hole in the ground and someone's dress that seem to have occupied the minds of many. Perhaps this is just an example of what was warned against. Perhaps the person(s) who dug the hole weren't digging their own grave but that of those obsessed with the mystery they've created.
