Geologist Pavel Ivanov explained, "The lake was located on a geological structure which is like a Swiss-cheese. The body of water was rapidly sucked into a biggest hole."Can anyone put this complex scientific mumbo-jumbo into plain English? ;)

Let's not hire the Americans who stole this lake to do ANYTHING. If you can't steal and lake and get it home, then you're just worth it.

I bet she's trying to cover her trail. Around 1470 in some town in Germany [forgot its name; the incident is described in "Malleus Maleficarum"] there was an unusually strong hailstorm which damaged the local crops. Immediately two local old hags were arrested, confessed under interrogation to being witches and to have caused the hailstorm, and were duly given the thermal treatment.

when i first read that quote in the original story... well i figured she was joking. the americans were probably blamed for everything during the time she lived under communism, so i thought it was a rather wry and funny comment.
but maybe theats just me.

LOL!
America did itLocal residents were shocked to find out that their lake had literally vanished from the area. [...] One of the men assumed that the USA had been involved in such an amazing natural phenomenon: "I think that America got us here," a man said.

The lake leaked, how interesting.
