Scientists probe 'hole in Earth'

Dr Chris MacLeod, from Cardiff University, said the Earth's crust appeared to be completely missing in an area thousands of kilometres across.

The hole in the crust is midway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Caribbean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

1. Oh, this can NOT be a good thing
At least something that huge maybe we're not responsible for. Unless someone has been testing some fucked up weapon they shouldn't have been or something.

3. Reagan thought he was Superman
Bush isn't smart enough to be Lex Luthor but Cheney could be Ming the Merciless at least. Swamp Rat that's your cue. Fire up the photoshop.

14. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge...
...is a spreading center, where magma is welling up from below and new crust is being formed. You'd expect to find a "hole" in that area.
