A once-secret 1940s tunnel complex under the centre of London that housed military intelligence and linked the cold war hot line phone between Washington and Moscow has been put up for sale.
Former state telephone monopoly BT says the one mile long network of tunnels below Chancery Lane underground station is now surplus to requirements.
The complex was dug in 1942 as a bomb shelter for 8,000 people during the Second World War, but was taken over by military authorities as a communications and intelligence centre.

Funniest tag line in ages. I guess I do.
Spending too much time on this stuff:
Mathematical Challenge One: The Mathematics of the Brain
• Develop a mathematical theory to build a functional model of the brain that is mathematically consistent and predictive rather than merely biologically inspired.
Mathematical Challenge Two: The Dynamics of Networks
• Develop the high-dimensional mathematics needed to accurately model and predict behavior in large-scale distributed networks that evolve over time occurring in communication, biology and the social sciences.
Mathematical Challenge Three: Capture and Harness Stochasticity in Nature
• Address Mumford’s call for new mathematics for the 21st century. Develop methods that capture persistence in stochastic environments.
Okay.
