"When the Officers moved the large metal cabinet they uncovered an entry way to a large hidden room in the basement.  The room was full of various science equipment along with a terrified, elderly man.  The 83 year old man was identified as Dr. Winston Corrigan, a chemistry professor from the University of Minnesota who went missing in the fall of 1984 and was a previous resident of the home.

“He had clearly been living down there for a long time and had suffered severe psychological trauma.. probably from not socializing with anyone for a while…or from ingesting a lot of the drugs…  I don’t know if he had been living down there since the 80’s but I wouldn’t doubt it” Said EMT personnel Landon Choler."

Aww... story's fake. http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/missingscientist.asp

Would make a good B-movie plot though.

Yeah, "50 years’ worth of military grade rations" would fill a small warehouse I think.  And he'd need one heck of a quiet toilet.

If he hasn't ventured out to buy clothes in 30 years, and his laundry facilities and soap supplies are presumable rather limited, his undies may be a rival for yours Trevor  BounceGiggle

For only one person it is not so much actually. It is large, but not extreme.

Assuming 2 meals per day, for 50 years, and each is about 1/3 of liter you have:
2 * 50 * 365.25 * (1/3) = 12175 liter

That is 12~13 cube meters. The story is a fake, but it would be possible to have a bunker with such a size. Of course he needed some soap and a bathroom too to get water.


However the real problem is: how long does it guy needed to store all this food? He bought a bit every month for years?

This is kind of fun to figure out lol  Smile  According to this place:  http://www.mre-meals.net/wholesalers.php A pallet of MRE's is 40" X 48" X 48", and that contains 48 cases with 12 meals per case.  So for 30 years at 2 meals a day he'd need 21,900 meals, so 1,825 cases or about 38 pallets.  Stack them 2 high I guess that's 19 pallets on the floor at 4' X 4' each, So in a 4 X 5 arrangement, that's 16 by 20 foot. 

You'd need kind of a large hidden room to still leave room for a drug lab and whatever other stuff you'd need to live for 30 years, plus some living space to enjoy the LSD trips, but I guess it's doable  TeddyR

That's probably the "severe psychological trauma" they were talking about  BounceGiggle

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
