Old missile silo used as a LSD lab
Folks living around the former missile silo figured something wasn't quite right. Maybe it was the vehicles coming and going from the complex when most people were thinking of bedtime. Maybe it was the unfriendly attitude of those hanging around the old complex.

In fact, Italians are the least sexually active people in Europe, and when they do have sex, it lasts the shortest time.
