I want one of those tv's in the car too, so while I am waiting to be rescued I can watch some movies
While you are taking orders.....a side order of fries, and a coke to go with that:p

Why don't they use landfill? 2 birds, 1 stone.:blunt:

1.4 Million cubic feet.

Let's see, that's a cube that's 112 feet wide, by 112 feet tall, by 112 feet long.

What can I compare that to? Um, I bet the White House is roughly the same size. That's enough grout to fill the White House. There you go.

This sink hole happened at the entrance to a mall in Baltimore. See:

The road and pipes were privately constructed and maintained, Adams said. Officials with the Rouse Co., parent company of Owings Mills Mall, said ownership of the road is not clear.

$$ Ca-ching! $$

Looks like a couple women are going to get a nice payment from the Mall.

When I first read this, I thought, "What a change. From geology to psychology." Then I realized it was just going from rocks in the ground to people with rocks in their heads. :D
