The Gates of Hell Just Opened In Guatemala
The Gates of Hell Just Opened In Guatemala"This can't be real" was my first thought. Then I checked the source: The Guatemalan government. This sinkhole appeared last sunday in a street intersection of Ciudad de Guatemala. Just looking at the photo gives me vertigo.

A sinkhole is a natural depression caused by the removal of underground soil by water. Usually, it happens when the substrate is formed by limestone, carbonate rock, salt beds or any other rock that is easily eroded by water streams. The process could be slow, but sometimes the land just cracks open without notice. In this case, it happened suddenly, swallowing an entire house. The cause: Massive underground water torrents created by tropical storm Agatha.

Sinkholes' size ranges from low terrain depressions to hundred of meters. Unlike the similar sinkhole that killed two teens in 2007, there seems to be no victims. At least one local newspaper is reporting one person dead, but the authorities have not confirmed it. Some neighbors claim that a whole three-story building and a house fell into the hole.

This is surreal. I haven't seen my ex's vagina in years.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I saw this. Can you imagine standing next to it as it happened? Let's just forget about standing right on top of it, just standing beside it will suffice.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

My ex must have had a cavernous vagina too... being that she was a prostitute who had sex with hundreds of men for money and was so blatant, she was even picked up by the cops for sex solicitation.
I never did see it though. So I say must have."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

A whole 3-story building and a house went down the hole. That's crazy. Whole buildings plummeting down that hole."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
