Link - Seven Amazing Holes
Here's a sample, and a link, to a site that features information on 7 pretty mazaing holes in the earth.
i’m pretty sure most people have seen this one. it’s an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world. at 525 metres deep with a top diameter of 1200 metres there’s even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.

Joke - New Neighbor
Sam had been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in North Dakota as far from humanity as possible. Sam sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded man standing there. "Name's Lars, your neighbor from four miles away. Havin' a party Saturday, thought you'd like to come."
"Great," says Sam, "after six months out here I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Lars is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you, there's gonna be some drinkin'."
"Not a problem. After 25 years in the computer business, I can drink with the best of 'em."
Again, as he starts to leave Lars stops. "More'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too."
Sam says, "Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again."
Once again Lars turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too."
"Now that's not a problem" says Sam, "I've been all alone for six months! I'll definitely be there. By the way, what should I wear?"
Lars stops in the door again and says, "Whatever you want - just gonna be the two of us."

Joke - Tyson and the Pope
A guy from Tyson Foods arranges to visit the Pope. After receiving the papal blessing he whispers, "Your Eminence, we have a deal for you. If you change The Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread....' to 'give us this day our daily chicken....' then we will donate $500 million dollars to the Church".
The Pope responds saying, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed."
"Well," says the Tyson man, "we are prepared to donate $1 billion to the Church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread....' to 'give us this day our daily chicken...."
Again the Pope replies "That is impossible. The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed".
Finally, the Tyson guy says, "This is our last offer. We will donate $5 billion to the church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread....' to 'give us this day our daily chicken....'" and he leaves.
The next day the Pope meets with the College of Cardinals to say that he has good news and some bad news.
"The good news is that the Church has come into $5 billion."
"The bad news is that we are losing The Wonderbread Account!"

Shorpy's Blog - Lots of Old Photos
I thought Shorpy's was a lot of fun - dozens of really old photos. Below is one I've posted from My neck of the woods - a photo of the Syracuse University rowing team from 1908. Click on the image to view larger.
Rather Humorous Notion
The following is from the Weekly World News website, an online newspaper with a penchant for making up news stories rahter like The Onion. Even though this is phony, I found the concept rather humorous...
TERRORISTS have formed their own airline -- because they're afraid of getting on a plane that could be hijacked by other terrorists!
That's the incredible claim made by Amir Humad, a Saudi terrorist who was recently captured and is being held in a top-secret location. "No one's going to hijack a plane when everyone else on the plane is a crazed terrorist," Humad says. "Sure, terrorists are crazy, but we're not crazy enough to get on a plane that might be hijacked."
Ironically, El-Al Queda, as the new airline is called, is the result
of increased security on other airlines.
Joke - Smart Businessman
A businessman walks into a bank in Boston and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The businessman replied - "Where else in Boston can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
