THat bit about the original nail made me laugh out loud.
Absolutely excellent. I wonder how SCP personnel managed to hide all of the deaths, though… staged meteor impact?
13 people? gas line explosion, probably. Or random shooter.

I lol'd. This is brilliant.

Has there been any attempt to find the bunker's location? Could make quite an odd site location.
That's a good point. i always assumed it existed outside this physical reality, and would be safe from an xk event.
On the other hand, it could just be under a mountain in austria or something.
gps would be useless underground. maybe an analysis of magnetic fields, or an analysis of the surrounding rock outside the concrete shell?
One danger would be if we tunnel through the concrete shell and find only hard vacuum on the other side. that would probably kill the host.
It must have existed some place as it appears it was once fully functional. However how the hangerdoors got blocked off and why SCP-108-1 has the only external link in their nose is an other matter. I would still deam it's location curent and former interging. The site might have a name that could be looked up. Revealing where the bunker is/was on earth. Crome the out side tuneling could be done to see if we can get in to 108 via another method. Just an idea but 108 has potential.
Why blank out her year of birth if you are going to tell us her age? I think the age should go and be replaced by "Middle aged" or something more generic.
Also this is definitely one of the best SCPs I've read, it is just so random.
Because not all readers assume the SCP series is set in the present day, and avoiding set dates prevents breaking suspention of disbelief.
Yes, yes, I know. Replying to an oldpost. But I feel this may be an interesting topic for discussion.
I always assumed that since we're reading this on a modern website/"intranet", it was set in modern times.
And I'm only responding to your old post because you did so with the previous, so…exceptions?
Not necessarily. It could be set in the future.
Responding to old post because fractals.
The SCP article could've been written on paper, and then transcribed onto the internet after its invention due to convenience. Responding to old post because paradoxes.

I'm going to do a cleanup of this article here. Changes which will definitely go through will be:
- removal of the references to the Division of Consumer Products (the role of DCP i had in mind was people with loose morals making money of SCPs, and that role is filled nicely by Dark Ltd.)
- removal of the DOB of the 51 year old woman.
Are there other dire needs that have to be addressed?
cheers
Those both sound rather good, and i think they will help a great deal.
However, my suggested edit might be acceptable. Honestly, i think this would work very nicely if it was not in a woman's nose. for all the coolness and creepiness, it just feels…odd. The does a fantastic job besides this handicap, which makes me think that having it not inside a woman's nose would help it a great deal.
I like the "huge base in a impossible space" hook, i just think the location needs to be moved. Just my personal suggestion.
I have to disagree, Gears. I don't believe the location of the portal up the woman's nose is a drawback to the article. Plus, the interaction between the Foundation, the bunker, and the woman and her nose makes up a significant part of the article, and removing her would take away some of the appeal of the article (along with much of the article itself).
Have to disagree quik. The only way the entrance could be more reatarded is if the entrance were in her vagina.

I have to disagree, Bright. It could be even more retarded if it were up her urethra.
The portal being up her nose sounds like it's one of those things you either just like or don't.
The nose just sounds silly to me (I mistook this for a joke SCP the first time I ran across it), but it's hard to think of an opening that would be less so… Ears would be sillier, eyes are overdone, mouth would not work for other reasons… My only ideas would be swapping it to the navel or to some kind of partially-healed wound.
Somewhere in the world, there is a facility whose evacuation procedure is:
1: have woman crawl through giant funnel, from small end to large.
2: have staff enter via her nostril to [DATA EXPUNGED]
Ha! I was thinking that the funnel should be used with this SCP.
