That’s Blackburn. :)

[P.O.E.]

Even Siberia goes through the motions.

You won’t be laughing when James Arness knocks on your door.

They look like sink holes but that doesn’t explain the piles of debris around the rims.

If the material dropped into a fluid, yes, it does by mechanics similar to an implosion.

[Jack Hydrazine]

“Checking out Google earth. Looks like the Yamal Pensinsula is already covered with sink holes.”

Yeppers. It’s called a permafrost pingo. They are very common there.

Newly Discovered Siberian Craters Signify End Times (or Maybe Just Global Warming); Mystery of the Siberian crater deepens: Scientists left baffled after two NEW holes appear in Russia’s icy wilderness

Actually, these craters are not mysterious at all—there are hundreds of them all over the Yamal Peninsula and their origin has been well known for many years.

As you can see from the images in Figure 2, there are hundreds of these craters, mostly not as fresh as the recent ones, but showing the same features—a depression surrounded by a ring of raised ground. These are pingos!!

A flip-flop on Arctic permafrost thaws – actually a net cooling rather than a warming

Mel? mel? mel? mel?...

Yeah I was looking and you see concentrations of them all across the tundra in Alaska and Canada as well.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Then why are they making such a big deal about these?

[JimSEA]

Some new ideas about forces within a tectonic plate as I noticed that an intersection of "tectonic" faults was mentioned. It still doesn't say much about an ignition source for any methane explosion. Lightning?

[Daffynition]

“The First Law of Holes”.....

[jurroppi1]

I don’t see what all the fuss is, everybody knows the hole’s natural enemy is the pile. Just import a bunch of undocumented piles to do the work the Serbian piles seem interested in avoiding.

[Gay State Conservative]

Let me guess...they found the remains of 500,000 Kulaks put there in the 30’s.

[Gay State Conservative]

That’s Blackburn. :)

We did a Beatles tour of Liverpool a few years ago...never hear what connection they had with Blackburn,Lancashire.we did see Strawberry Fields and the bus stop near the roundabout.

great image Hope those are liberals

[rusty schucklefurd]

Yes, sorry about that, my bad.

[Oratam]

I love that little Trotsky look alike. He grovels before the giant vegetable and gushes "You are so much older, so much wiser than us . . . ."

That was probably the last time a leftist was accurately portrayed in a movie.

[Disambiguator]

Can you believe that gif was taken from a Wendy’s Hamburgers commercial? That’s pretty twisted.

[Sirius Lee]

When Noory goes I’ll be willing to be he’ll be the last host man enough to serve in uniform.

It's too bad John B. Wells walked away from it. He was much better than Snoory.

[mad_as_he$$]

Wow. 9.6% is smack in them middle of BOOM!
