When you spend most of the day looking for, reading, and writing about the news of the day, you can get pretty jaded. Some days we're drinking from a fire hose of information, and after a time, it gets so it's all in a day's work.
Then, a story comes along that makes you stop, do a double-take at the screen, and say, "Wait, what?" In just such a story, it seems that recently, in New York City, mysterious people have been emerging from the sewers of one Brooklyn neighborhood, rapidly changing clothes (I should hope so!) and disappearing.
Earlier today, authorities conducted a thorough investigation following reports of unauthorized individuals inside the sewer system on McDonald Avenue. The NYPD and other agencies have completed their sweep, confirming the area is safe and free of hazards. pic.twitter.com/fMwnIX8foT

Uh, OK? There's no word as to whether any of the "unauthorized individuals" had shells, or were named after famous Renaissance artists.
A local station, News12 Brooklyn, has more.
Two sewer mysteries unfolded overnight Friday in Brooklyn. Police say two groups of people were seen exiting manholes in Williamsburg and Gravesend.
The incidents, around an hour apart, happened at opposite ends of the borough.
Eight people were caught on video entering the sewer system at around 1 a.m. at Heyward Street and Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, according to police. They say the group exited the sewer a short time later and took off in a car.
About an hour later, seven people mysteriously emerged from the sewer system in Gravesend near McDonald Avenue and Collin Place. Police say it is unclear how long the group was in the sewer system or what they were doing there.
Surveillance video from the Flatbush Scoop shows the Gravesend group exiting the manhole one by one before gathering near two parked cars, where they appear to remove their soiled clothing and clean themselves off.
Now, all kidding aside, these people could very well be up to serious no-good. They could be planting explosives, or improvised nerve agents, or who knows what. That would make it pretty urgent to find out who these people are, catch them, and find out just what they were up to down there. The sewer system of a city like New York underlies it; one can, if one is willing to put up with the filth and the smell, travel from anywhere to anywhere through this subterranean system.
And, candidly, if someone is so determined to do something, anything, that would make it worthwhile to wade through a few miles of sewage, then they must be very determined indeed.

For now, though, we just don't yet know who these people are, although the areas where they emerged have been inspected, and reports are that nothing of concern was found.
In closing: Now, finally, we can present what is rumored to be footage of the "unauthorized individuals" in the sewer. Watch:
