Wow. Get a load of this sinkhole.
Sweet barmy christ, that's bad.
Even worse...get a load of the original picture.
Again, as is currently usual for my posts, from PZ Myers.

| Wow!!! |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

| Egads! What can this mean? China's secrete invasion tunnel, exposed by rain? Hollow Earth'ers now have proof for all to see? SS |

| I see a comment over at PZs which is the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture. Did anyone see the Silver Surfer nearby? That's incredible. |

Oh oh! It not a sink hole. Here is an article that goes in to why they say it's not a sink hole.
The giant sinkhole that opened beneath downtown Guatemala City over the weekend is all the rage right now. There's just one problem: it isn't a sinkhole.
"Sure, it looks a lot like a sinkhole," geologist Sam Bonis told Discovery News from his home in Guatemala. "And a whale looks a lot like a fish, but calling it one would be very misleading."
Instead, Bonis prefers the term "piping feature" -- a decidedly less sexy label for the 100-foot deep, 66-foot wide circular chasm. But it's an important distinction, he maintains, because "sinkholes" refer to areas where bedrock is solid but has been eaten away by groundwater, forming a geological Swiss cheese whose contours are nearly impossible to predict.
The situation beneath the country's capital is far different, and more dangerous. The lion's share of the city is built on pumice fill -- ash flows made up of loose, gravel-like particles deposited during ancient volcanic eruptions. In places, the debris is piled over 600 feet thick, filling up what would otherwise be a v-shaped valley of faulted bedrock. For those peering into the deep dark depths wondering what might be at the bottom, it's either more pumice fill or bedrock. Mixed with a healthy dose of wreckage from the swallowed-up clothing factory.
In 2007, a similar hole opened after a sewage pipe broke pipe just a few blocks from this weekend's disaster. Bonis was part of a team of geologists and engineers brought in to investigate and advise officials on what went wrong.
"Our recommendation was that this could happen again," he recalled. "When you have water flowing from storm water runoff, a sewage pipe, or any kind of strong flow, it eats away at the loose material. We don't know how long it has to go on before it collapses. But once it starts collapsing, God help us." |
I cut a few paragraphs out, so here it is in full.

| Interesting geological details, sailingsoul. Still, next time the earth opens up beneath my feet, I'm going to curse that void as a "stinking sinkhole" as I'm falling. |

Sinkhole from (or is it, TO?) Hell
