A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will eventually become a new ocean or sea, researchers now confirm.

Giant Crack in Africa Will Become New Ocean

_____________________________________

Let me be the first to suggest we name this new ocean; Obama.

The Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean. The Obama Ocean. Has a nice ring to it, huh?

The Obama Ocean - brought to you from a Giant African Crack.

If all of Africa would drop into the ocean, and only those worthy souls redeemed by God would be allowed into heaven, the rest of the world could go about the business of taking care of business and not constantly dropping a couple billion here and a couple billion there in financial aid.

I didn't know Michael Moore had gone to Africa?

"I'll resist saying anything about the giant crack coming from Africa."

I tried to resist but just couldn't pull it off. This crack? Looking at its side view, does it in any way resemble a Serenghetti Shelf Ass?

It’s the Somali pirates. They are trying to bust off so they can float the country around and raid ships without getting in a boat.
