8 Amazing Holes

October 31, 2008 Leave a comment

These holes are not only amazing, but some of them are really terrifying – especially #8!

The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.

1. Kimberley Big Hole – South Africa

Holes1

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.

 

 

 

2. Glory Hole – Monticello Dam, California

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir

Holes2

This is the ‘Glory Hole’ at Monticello dam, and it’s the largest in the world of this type of spillway,its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

 


 

3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

Holes3

This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. 

 

Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.

 

4. Great Blue Hole , Belize

Holes4_2

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated

 

60 miles off the mainland of Belize . There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one

 

5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia

Holes5

This one is an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world.

At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there’s even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in. 

6. Diavik Mine , Canada

Holes6

The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737.

 

It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.

 

  7. Sinkhole in Guatemala

Holes7

These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred early this year in Guatemala .

 

The hole swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least 3 people.

And the most terrifying one of all? 

#8

Holess8

This is the famous ‘Rat Hole’ that you have heard about.

It is capable of swallowing trillions and trillions of U.S.

Dollars… Annually! Never to be heard from again.

I didn’t see that coming. Did You?

Bob and the Blonde

October 31, 2008 Leave a comment

Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM.  He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV.

The 10:00 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

The blonde looked at Bob and said, ‘Do you think he’ll jump?’

Bob says, ‘You know, I bet he’ll jump.’

The blonde replied, ‘Well, I bet he won’t.’

Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, ‘You’re on!’

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Bob, saying, ‘Fair’s fair.  Here’s your money.’

Bob replied, ‘I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news
and so I knew he would jump.’

The blonde replied, ‘I did too; but I didn’t think he’d do it again.’

Bob took the money . . .

3 Things to look for

October 31, 2008 Leave a comment

The people over at Hillbuzz have giving a warming to Republicans and Conservatives to heed.   The Obama camp and his propaganda machine will try and depress Republican voters from voting on Nov 4.

Head Games Coming Your Way:

(1) Calls for McCain to just give up and quit, because the race is over. 
This one is a favorite of the trolls who lurk on pro-McCain sites.  We
get them here, despite all the spraying and fumigating we do, but
notice how we ignore these trolls.  We’ve identified two paid Obama
staffers who have been assigned to HillBuzz. We picked them up around
the same time people from Ace and LGF started picking up some of our
stuff — so our guess is they were assigned to us by whoever was
monitoring those sites. They’re different trolls than the ones assigned
to us during the primaries (we only had one back then, so evidently
we’ve gotten more on the radar now). One of them starts posting “her”
concern troll remarks here at 8am.  The other one starts “his” remarks
around 5pm or so. It appears there are two shifts for the trolls — and
from what we can see, they share the same computer and IP address. And
it’s an address right here in Chicago.
…..

(2) Wild claims of Obama winning states that shock and surprise you.
Since Obama believes there are 57 states (maybe 58 or 59, depending on
how he’s counting that day), the Obamedia will report huge wins for
Dear Leader in the states of Confusion, Denial, and Undress, with
Atlantis, Oz, Hopetopia, and Leningrad all going to Obama early on
November 4th — because everyone loves Obama so much, that places that
don’t even exist have voted for him (with 100% of the vote of the dead,
cartoon characters, and historical figures going to Dear Leader in
unprecedented numbers). The best example of the Obamedia making up lies
like this was on Super Tuesday, when every Eeyore we knew ran through
the streets crying and pants-wetting, gnashing their teeth and yanking
their hair as the sky fell around them — BECAUSE OBAMA IS WINNING CALIFORNIA!  MASSACHUSETTS! ARKANSAS! TENNESSEE! NEW JERSEY! NEW YORK! WAAAAAAAAH!  DOOOOOOOMED!

….

(3) Repeated
insistance that blacks and young people will decide this election, and
they are all going to vote in record numbers for Obama.

First of all, black voters have always voted Democratic in massive
numbers. We don’t think blacks have ever voted for Republicans in any
substantial way in any race we can think of. Blacks vote as a
race-bloc, and they always vote for the Democrat. Maybe Obama will get
blacks who have never voted before to vote for him, or blacks who don’t
bother to vote on Election Day to show up and vote, but we doubt that
it will be very many people. Black voters were highly motivated to vote
in 2004 because they felt George W. Bush stole the 2000 election, and
they saw that as a civil rights issue that increased black turnout to
one of the highest levels we have ever seen. Remember, Jesse Jackson
almost won Election 2000 for Gore but was stopped by the Gore campaign,
in the form of Donna Brazile. Watch the HBO movie Recount.  Jackson
felt the Florida Recount was a civil rights/voter disenfranchisement
issue at its heart, and wanted to press that to the public. He revved
the black community up and flew down to Tallahassee, but Gore and
Brazile made him get back on a plane to Chicago. That was a critically
stupid move…and you know how the recount ended.

Read the whole thing, this is what the Obamoatrons did to Hillary’s supporters and thus the PUMAS formed.
