Amazing. A million years is a long time to wait, though.

Gee, I was getting all excited about this story until I reached the second to last paragraph. A million years?
Never mind.

If the crack does represent the birth of a new ocean (and it may not - it could all just settle down again), it will be about a million years before it is wet enough. Cool. I'll make a note to check back in 999,000 years to see how things are progressing.

I'm unclear. Is this due to Global Warming, or a Zionist conspiracy against Mecca?

Why couldn't it be on the US Mexican border from coast to coast?

It is time to get hold of a real estate agent and buy property on both sides of the riff & get ahead of the beach front property rush.
I wonder how far the closest end of the sink area is from the coast? The article doesn't say that.

That is enough to cover the area inside the M25 to a depth of about a yard, the BBC reports. The BBC must have a clerk stashed away in a dusty basement somewhere with a green eyeshade and a calculator to figure out these inane volumetric comparisons. No doubt they do that in the US as well. Let's see... That's enough spaghetti sauce to fill, er, "one hundred Madison Square Gardens all the way from the hockey rink surface to the cheap seats". Uh, no, how about, "to fill Lake Pontchartrain' - oh, that's too large, and it's in flyover country, it won't mean a thing to the average New York Times reader. OK, how about "to cover Central Park to a depth of (calculate... calculate... calculate...) eight inches"? Yeah, that'll really make it clear to the readers, eveybody can relate to having eight inches of spaghetti sauce covering Central Park...

More like the beginning of another Red Sea. I recommend buying now to get in on all of the new waterfront property. If this is already below sea level and it floods, its really going to throw off Bush's plans to drown poor New Orleanites with global warming. I'm going to go drive laps with my Suburban to ensure we stay ahead of the curve.

For that matter, water is bound to accumulate in the crater where Iran used to be. Whoops, I've said too much. ;')
E, I think we've had one or more topics about this for the GGG, or somethin'. I'll check it out. Thanks for the ping.
