I remember reading once about a cave somewhere that was completely cut off from the rest of the environment. It was a whole ecosystem that didn't depend on the sun. Where is this cave and what is it called?

I think I've got what you're looking for. After extensive searching, it is called Movile Cave, and here are some links. http://www.highbeam.com/library/doc0.asp?docid=1P1:28470424&refid=ink_pubtrans&skeyword=&teaser= A cave in rural Romania that was discovered by accident 10 years ago contains life forms that have remained in that environment for 5.5 million years, including a leech that doesn't suck blood. Back in 1986, an excavation crew in Romania was bulldozing through the soil on the coast of the Black Sea to see if it might be a good spot to build a power plant, when suddenly something cracked, and the Earth gave way, and they realized there was something big and weird and hollow down there. http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.nara.html http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/5771 http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.rcave.html http://www.uib.no/People/nglbn/bio.htm Enjoy it.

I saw this on a documentary a couple years back and can't recall the name. It is a fragile and fairly extensive underwater cave system off Australia. Anyone know the name? I have been told that when Van Gogh cut off his ear he was using a hallucinogenic substance called Absinthe. Could anyone confirm this for me, and tell me a little more about this stuff please? What is the world's longest cave system? In which country have reports emerged about a fortune in gold hidden in a cave by the Japanese during World War II?
