MOSCOW - A Russian village was left baffled on Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight.
NTV television showed pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo looked on disconsolately.
“It is very dangerous. If a person had been in this disaster, he would have had almost no chance of survival. The trees flew downwards, under the ground,” said Dmitry Zaitsev, a local Emergencies Ministry official interviewed by the channel

"Bush's fault!!"Yep....
" 'I am thinking, well, America has finally got to 'us,' said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house"
Shades of the Muslim tsunami "Bush caused it by setting off underwater nukes to destroy all Muslims" theory. If ignorance is bliss, why are so many ignorant people so darned unhappy?

This suggests there was a huge fisher beneath the lake where all the water could have drained to.
If there was a recent earthquake and land was displaced below, could have been the cause.
Yet again, as some say, it could have been Bush's fault.

“I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us,” said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house. Look no further than the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. They have been pulling this stunt for years on unsuspecting villages. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey, can you guys help me hide a lake? See, I'm this CIA guy, and I was just playing around and singing the theme song from "View to a Kill," and, well, I don't want to get into trouble.

Anyone remember the UnderDog episode, where Simon Bar Sinister shrinks all the great lakes and oceans into dropper bottles?

A huge fisher beneath the lake? Maybe he sucked out all the water while he was sucking out all the fish. (just pulling yer chain)
