May 31, 2010: New Guatemalan sinkhole - Page 3

HA! - What you are seeing, is the result of the U.S. Military's experimental firing from space, of their new, giant laser-ray gun ....

It's a shame they still haven't got the aiming mechanism quite perfected, just yet .. it WAS aimed at Pyongyang ..

What to do with a fucking great mysterious hole in the ground? Pee in it, of course! Right, UT?

I wondered what that giant, shark-shaped object was doing, in orbit, around the Earth...

There's a frickin' shark, with a frickin' laser beam attached to it's frickin' head, shooting pot shots at our planet.

U.S Military Experiment? Aliens? Poor attempt at connecting the above post to an Austin Power's quote? Shark that's pissed off because it's been called a "dolphin" one too many times?

You decide!

Sorry, boss. Turns out it's not a sinkhole:

Quote:

The giant sinkhole that opened beneath downtown Guatemala City over the weekend is all the rage right now. There's just one problem: it isn't a sinkhole.

"Sure, it looks a lot like a sinkhole," geologist Sam Bonis told Discovery News from his home in Guatemala. "And a whale looks a lot like a fish, but calling it one would be very misleading."

Instead, Bonis prefers the term "piping feature" -- a decidedly less sexy label for the 100-foot deep, 66-foot wide circular chasm. But it's an important distinction, he maintains, because "sinkholes" refer to areas where bedrock is solid but has been eaten away by groundwater, forming a geological Swiss cheese whose contours are nearly impossible to predict.

Just change the name to Giant Stinkhole," and let nature take its course.

Perhaps it could be filled with potatoes.

Half-baked?

Spexxvet · 06-07-2010, 12:28 PM

Fill it with the oil in gulf.

TheDaVinciChode · 06-07-2010, 12:47 PM

Seems like a good place to dump rapists, and paedophiles.

... That's right. They should build a great-big Catholic Church down there.

Shawnee123 · 06-07-2010, 12:50 PM

haggis!

So we're preparing rapists and pedophiles fired in raw heavy oil, with mashed potatoes and haggis, for dinner?

I'm thinking overeating will be a thing of the past!!
