Scientists Discover Bermuda's Hidden Underground Structure Requires Annual Maintenance Contracts and Liability Waivers

BERMUDA — When a team of international researchers announced they’d found a “massive hidden structure deep beneath Bermuda’s continental shelf,” the first thought of the geological survey team was: Who’s paying for the structural integrity certification?

After three weeks of frantic calculations, the National Science Foundation has authorized a $42 billion emergency appropriation for the new Bermuda Geologic Maintenance Fund, though preliminary reports suggest the structure may actually be a 3-billion-year-old coral formation that’s been politely ignored by scientists for centuries.
