  • Ithy, on 05/20/2008, -26/+7I wonder for how long you could scream if you fell into one of those
    • rtknox00, on 05/20/2008, -7/+16probably not very long, you'd be dead pretty quickly.
    • cvxdes1, on 05/20/2008, -11/+9Until you hit the bottom, dumbass.
      • Dylson, on 05/20/2008, -4/+2What if there is no bottom, dumbass?
      • cvxdes1, on 05/20/2008, -5/+4Trust me, there is. There just is.

        • DaHuuuuuudge, on 05/21/2008, -2/+2What if you start in Australia?
        • misguidedmonkey, on 05/21/2008, -1/+1Australia isn't on opposite ends of America. You'd most likely pop up at the bottom of the Indian Ocean floor.

    • LordofChaosIori, on 05/20/2008, -3/+10It was Return of the Jedi. He's referring to the Sarlacc pit.

    • Blandyman, on 05/21/2008, -6/+3I usually never say this but... EPIC FAIL!

      Then again, he's probably thinking about when Luke jumped after finding out Darth Vader was Anakin. He most likely forgot the Sarlacc pit.

    $7000 says Sci-Fi's next original movie is a thriller involving a town coping with sentient, killer sinkholes. $7000 because this will be the film's budget.

    • cramming, on 05/20/2008, -2/+1Can you imagine what creatures unknown to us might be lurking down there? I am so creeped out by the jungles/forests of South America.

  • The_Red_Monkey, on 05/21/2008, -19/+9I came here to see pictures of Paris Hilton's Vagina and I am very disappointed.
    • DaHuuuuuudge, on 05/21/2008, -2/+1Why would you want to see that? Paris Hilton is the most disgusting thing on this planet.

    • Hetman, on 05/21/2008, -7/+1Ahhh is this your first time on digg? Because this is exactly what i was expecting.
    • MrZop, on 05/21/2008, -4/+2Question for somebody who lives there:

      What did they do with the hole? fill it with dirt? Create a brace /metal structure/bridge over it? leave it? Seems like a rather large void, tough to fix.
      • tian2992, on 05/21/2008, -2/+1First they are draining the water, then four tunnels of 50 meters long and 40 cm width (about 165 ft, and 15 in, for the ones clinging to obsolete measurements ;) ) and fill them with concrete, then fill the hole with concrete-mud.
        Yet they said they were going to take 2 months, it was on 2007 and on april 2008 there was another segment of land which went away… http://www.prensalibre.com/pl/2008/abril/08/230753 ...


  • huntermaclean, on 05/21/2008, -8/+1Anyone see that movie Holes? Totally misleading title.
