A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will eventually become a new ocean or sea, researchers now confirm.

The crack, 20 feet wide in spots, opened in 2005. Some geologists believed then that it would spawn a new ocean. But that view was controversial, and the rift had not been well studied.

And what will all the crack in America’s inner cities become? Small seas?

Giant Crack in Africa Will Become New Ocean

Let me be the first to suggest we name this new ocean; Obama.

The Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean. The Obama Ocean. Has a nice ring to it, huh?

The Obama Ocean - brought to you from a Giant African Crack.

If all of Africa would drop into the ocean, and only those worthy souls redeemed by God would be allowed into heaven, the rest of the world could go about the business of taking care of business and not constantly dropping a couple billion here and a couple billion there in financial aid.

I guess it’s proverbial. Africa is a sinkhole for foreign aid. The money goes in, but no progress comes out. Only rats come out.

Sounds like a perfect spot for a Palestinian state!

Interesting article. I'll resist saying anything about the giant crack coming from Africa.

I didn't know Michael Moore had gone to Africa?

"I'll resist saying anything about the giant crack coming from Africa."

I tried to resist but just couldn't pull it off. This crack? Looking at its side view, does it in any way resemble a Serenghetti Shelf Ass?

[TSgt]

Did someone say crack?

Gorbal warming.

Cool! Now we won’t have to worry about all the water coming from the melting ice shelves ... right? /s

[Obadiah]

What movie was that from? Screwed?

[STONEWALLS]

...if water rushes into the crack won’t the sea levels fall?....then we won’t have to go thru all this melting-of-the-ice-caps hysteria.

[envisio]

You mean the natural evolution of the Earth continues despite the evil little tiny itty bitty SUVs that drive around on its surface?

That’s from (Dave) Chappelle’s Show.

It’s the Somali pirates. They are trying to bust off so they can float the country around and raid ships without getting in a boat.
