This ominous hole in Earth’s surface has been burning since 1971. Dubbed the Door to Hell, it sits above natural gas deposits in the Karakum Desert near Derweze, Turkmenistan. The hole is 230 feet wide and 66 feet deep and has been boiling continuously since Soviet geologists first ignited it while drilling for gas.

I'm probably reading this thread wrong, but didn't the author say "hole," and not, "whore?"

From National Lampoon’s Vacation:
Ellen Griswold: I honestly don’t think you’re going to find the Grand Canyon on this road.
Clark: Jesus, it’s only the biggest damn hole in the world.
Aunt Edna: Clark, watch your language!
Clark: Make that the second biggest.

"Mel's Hole" was a great piece of radio. Total BS of course, but a great story on the right medium.
The follow-up wasn't even half as good.

Saw a really need documentary recently on that burning hole in the ground. The put a line over it and dropped a guy in it to take readings.I saw that, too. Neat concept, and I'll give the guy credit for having a pair.
