Curious signage



It's now been a little over two weeks since I started my new job. Every day, on my way to and from my desk when I come in or leave work, I've seen this sign on a door in the hallway on the way out of my building. Every day, at least 4 times a day, I've wondered an Oubliette is. Finally, last night, as I was leaving the building, the door to the Oubiette was left ajar and a discovered....

A dark closet that appeared to be a combination janitor's/old junk closet. And so I finally decided to try to figure out what an Oubliette is. Once I did, the name on the closet made perfect nerd sense. So as to not spoil anyone else's fun, I'll leave the exercise of determining what it means to my few, sparse readers. Best of luck.
