The Pit of Death

[Mojo S2R]

scary indeed... very odd how it's perfectly shaped 

+1  I find that very odd indeed.

several years ago one of the drivers for a company I was working for got swallowed up by a sinkhole on I-5 He was in a set of Triple Trailers if my memory serves me right. Our shop steward capitalized on the photo..........Our company logo was
" #1 on 1-5". He took the photo and the logo photoshopped it all and made calender with the heading "#1 under 1-5". Sold a ton of them!

Wouldn't you think there'd be some geological interest in the finding out what's down there rather than just filling it in?

For us inquisitive types I suppose.


For Guatamalans I guess it's just a new place to put your garbage...

That's how horror movies start.



Fill the hole. Do not wake the Balrog.

Anyone seen The Descent?

Dirt, Water, and a three story clothing factory.

From what I've read their planing a descent sometime soon.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a hole geological hole inspector. I was told in one of my foundations classes that when you spec those giant pier-type foundations (the name escapes me... not piles, the poured ones... ca-something...) that someone has to go down and inspect the bottom of the hole. I can't remember if he was joking or serious.

Truth.

We've had to hire an outside inspection firm to deal with anything deeper than 30'.  The Town's insurance won't allow my Building Commissioner to inspect any deeper than that without special equipment and training, so a set of 36' deep pilings required help.

Satellite death ray?  Something like that earth quake machine in that movie?   Eh who's knocking on my door.  @#$%=&

[Monster Dave]

Who knows though - one day a historical discovery could be found like that - imagine an undergound pyramid....

oh wait that was Alien vs. Predator....

...an alien space ship....


oh wait, that was the X-Files...

...Atlantis...

Who knows!!

Satellite death ray? 

Wasn't me. I would've taken out Colorado.

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

I wonder if anyone has stood there and pee'd into it.

I would if I was there.

Are you thinking of a caisson?
