CLAUDE, TX -- A massive crack in the earth opened up last week in Claude, Texas and it*s creating a stir among geologists.
Geologists said Tuesday the crack was a joint in the earth*s crust. They believe the opening is the result of a weak point in the joint where one spot slips away from the other.
Some parts measure more than 30-feet deep and it drained what used to be a pond. Experts say earth cracks are common but the size of the crack in Claude is not.

Let this be a warning to all you Texans (and others) hoping and praying for California to fall into the ocean.

Thanks ... I wouldn't have come up with it if I hadn't just been on a thread arguing that Bush personally brought every single illegal alien across the border with Mexico in the back of his pickup truck.

Nah, rather something Biblical, where Earth cracked asunder and swallowed some notorious sinners. And Greek mythology knew similar cases, too, like one Amphiaraios (sp?). Thus one ought to inquire into the morals of local inhabitants.

There is a difference between an axe-wound and a crack...

A Claudian Crack is prophesied in Crackviticus 11:4. Or was it a Cracked Accordion that was prophesied ?
I'll have to refresh myself on the study of Seismic Musical Prophecy.
To: Lijahsbubbe
Dunno, but from the pic, it looks pretty long. The article doesn't say how long it is.
