My "WTF?" story of the day, huge doomsday shelter being built...



A California entrepreneur says that the future of the human race could depend on a doomsday shelter RV park that his company is building in Kansas.

Vivos founder and CEO Robert Vicino doesn't know if the apocalypse will come by way of nuclear war, meteorites or some other catastrophe but he's pretty sure the Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort he's building in 100-year-old man-made caves near Atchison will be the best place to survive.

"Perhaps an asteroid, perhaps something from space or maybe it's just the heating up of terrorism or nuclear event somewhere in the world," Vicino told KSHB. "We're becoming a modern day fortress or a citadel with ample security, fully underground storage and all the other amenities that are needed to survive."

It is also a good, dry place to store corn seed, a sensible adaptation by a wise ancient civilization, the Sinagua.

If a giant asteroid ever hits earth, that RV Apocalypse Community will just become a future tourist attraction.." Kansas-Kooks-Katacomb-Kaves"
