There Is A Hidden Graffiti Cave Under The Lincoln Memorial
To us, the Lincoln Memorial always looks like it's hiding something -- like you could tap the right bit of the massive statue and Lincoln's hat will pop up, revealing a map to George Washington's magical wooden teeth. And we were right (not about the magical teeth bit). The Lincoln Memorial does have an awesome secret. If you enter through a barely noticeable side door and climb down a series of staircases, you can find yourself in the Abandoned Lair of the Ice King.

It's another universe, where Abraham Stark led the North against the Slave-Walkers.
Underneath the monument stand all the support beams holding aloft Lincoln's big marble butt. These pillars reside in an impressive underground hall, and the area smells and feels like a real cavern. So what can you find underneath the beautifully crafted memorial to one of our greatest historical figures? Dust, debris, stalactites, and graffiti. Lots and lots of graffiti.

"And if you go right, you'll find the hall of dick drawings and your-mom jokes."
Making a building can get really boring, it seems, as many of the construction workers spent their breaks making doodles on the concrete columns. The National Park Service refers to these drawings as "historical graffiti" -- a tactful choice, considering that some of these drawings are straight-up pornographic.
