When I was a kid, I used to be fascinated by secret passages. I heard stories of how you could press a button, or pull a book and this wall would open or slide to the side revealing this awesome secret passage. Before my closed was carpeted, there was this floorboard that looked like you could press it. I spent a few days coming up with elaborate plans (with friends) about how we could get into this secret passage. Imagine the disappointment when nothing happened after all our hard work.
