That's the same as 6,000 dump truck loads!

That's like 10 loads a day for 2 years...

That has to have gone somewhere... There should be some guy standing in his field wondering.. F**^ing gophers!

Maybe it was eaten by whatever made the hole

That was the Almighty Sarlaac from Star Wars. It certainly wasn't mine!

My 5 year-old nephew is obsessed with this. He wanted me to take him to "Guammammala" to see it. I showed him the globe and said, "we live HERE and the hole is waaaaay down here!" He was unimpressed.

He said, "can we go today?"

It swallowed 10 homes??? No way! Where would they have been? It's mostly swallowed road and vacant lot, plus a small corner of a building (about 8m by 2m by my estimate).

Washed away. The story says it is caused by a ruptured sewage/rainwater drain, and that "A rush of water could be heard from its depths". Never underestimate the earth-moving capabilities of running water.

Maybe the Guatemalans have discovered a new weapon of mass destruction.

I know what it was supposed to be, but Lucas cheaped out and used an unemployed worm from Dune to simulate Sarlacc. That's because Sarlacc's agent thought he had Lucas by the short hairs, but I digress.

You're not a worm because you type, worms don't type. I doubt if you have any wormholes in you, because if you did, I'll bet you'd be seeking some medical help, rather than hanging in the Cellar.
That said, it's your wormhole because you posted it. Jeez, that's one of the basic tenets of the Intarweb, "If you bring a wormhole on the net, it's your responsibility, not tech-attendants or baggage handlers. :haha:

:o Okay, mea culpa. It's my worm. How does one de-worm a planet?
Or is it this sort of wormhole?
