Looks like the beginning of a horror movie about aliens or demons coming out of the ground and all the people are standing around like, hmmm what's that?

And then the demons or aliens fly up (or the devil's long arms reach out) and grab unsuspecting idiots who were standing around a sink hole.

I'm sooooooooo shopping my script around to Hollywood execs.

When you get picked up, have them cast me if you don't mind. I could use some extra money about now.

ETA: I'm going to be pissed when the demons/aliens start attacking and I've been wasting all this time on GC and facebook.

It's techically our script and we need to get it copywritten (copyrighted?) asap.

The world shall end and our time on GC is definitely a waste. However, aliens and demons are always among us. Runnnnnn!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one in that mindset.

CNN confirmed--That thing is real!!
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americ...ion=cnn_latest

Jesus be a really really really really really big fence. This is heartbreaking but at least no deaths have been reported since it happened (not from the hole anyway).

According to the article, people have been complaining of weak structures and shifting ground since 2005. Now that the hole is open, some say it sounds like there's an underground river down there. Oy vey.

Because you can fix anything with Duct tape! You can suspend someone upside down from a board, you can make a cannon, you can patch a boat (before it gets in the water), you can *make* a sailboat (episode 1), you can stop a car from moving with it, you can *try* (and fail) to stop a moving car with it, you can make a bridge over a 50 foot chasm with it (episode 2).

We need to send the Mythbusters to Guatemala *stat*.

Fair, but it's a credited photograph being used everywhere, and there's video too.

Moreso, since random screen names are quoted in the article. o_O

/sidebar: I was watching it briefly the other day and had the absolute pleasure of seeing a 7 minute presentation on an app that allows you to lift the oil spill and place it over your city so that you can understand how large it is. This is news?/
