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.

Bush’s fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

Women and minorities will be hardest hit.

Tyrone Biggums - A squeaky voiced crack addict recognized by his white, cocaine encrusted lips and constant scratching. His first appearance was in the second episode of Season 1. He is often heard saying “I smoke rocks” and “SHAZAM!” Tyrone enjoys eating Peanut Butter and crack sandwiches, and was the spokesman for “Red Balls”, an energy drink/soda made from cocaine.

Thanks for the education. Peanut butter and crack sandwiches, huh?

[Hoodat]

Bush’s fault.

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

Say "no" to crack.

Giant Crack in America will be out in three years....

It seems a new ocean will need water, which can only come from the existing ocean. So much for rising sea levels.

[RingerSIX]

Oh, this should be fun...

My new ocean will not decrease sea levels one inch! Don’t listen to those naysayers. We can do this!

Dunno why but it reminds me of a Marine Sergeant at Camp Pendleton whose favorite saying was “Good God, Gertie, what a gash!”

Now that is what Zappa had in mind, son. LOL

[GnuHere]

Whew! Just glanced at the headline and thought it said “New Orleans”.
Which means it’s Bush’s “fault”.

Nothing that Cap & Trade & Brake won't fix.....

Time for the world to address Plate Tectonics....nothing a 100's of Trillions won't fix....

It's a start.

I saw “giant crack in Africa” and immediately wondered what Rosie O’Donnell was doing there...

[Mad Dawg]

Far be it from me to comment but, if I were asked, I'd say I agree with you.

Um. wait.

The earth is always changing, sometimes slow, sometimes fast and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
