A new ocean is forming in the Afar region of Ethiopia, thanks to a veritable earthquake swarm.

Oh, that Mother Nature!

Amazing.

How long before someone attributes this to the effects of global warming?

Now I finally understand how Jesus pulled off that whole "walk on water" thing.

Somewhere, there's a developer trying to figure out how to market the new beachfront property.

The Republicans are having a press conference at noon to blame this on Bill Clinton.

A million years? I want new sea NOW! Blow the mountains up! Let the Red Sea in!

A View To A Kill, Superman, Superman Returns, any other movies with major landscaping taking place?

I've still got the horn.

Aw. Lookie the baby proto-oceanic trought.

coochie coo!

Yeah. Spelling. Whatever.

so i guess it'll be a while before this renders the ethiopia-eritrea dispute moot?

Astounding stuff. Bit off topic but this snippet from one of links caught my eye, working with languages and all:

Dabbahu, a stratovolcano, also goes by several other names, including Mount Dabbahu, Boina, Moina, and Boyna...The profusion of names and spellings for this region of Africa partly stems from widely dissimilar alphabets; the one used in the region has over 100 letters, complicating conversion into languages having only 26.

Borders, yes. Fishing rights, no.

Wrong way about, Pleg.

Must be pretty scary--camped out under the stars, and then things go bang, and you've got a goat roast.

Goat in a Hole!!!
