Deepest Hole in the World
13 seconds of absolute freefall, starting at rest = 828.9 meters. That's an upper bound on the depth of the hole in this video. Surely the rock loses some speed from air resistance and audible collisions with the wall, so the hole is shallower than 828 meters.
Don't forget that the sound takes time to travel back. So it's not really even 13 seconds.

Good riddance, petulant lib.
QM, you labeling George Carlin as a liberal makes your comment un-down-votable.

1. Ya, I'm a guy and...
2. My ancestors were Finnish. So when I was a little kid growing up, I used to tell people that was how you spelled my name (Ricky, now I go by Rick though) in Finnish cause' I thought it made me sound cool.
It's not how you spell it in Finnish and it's not really cool but I've been using it as a handle ever since. I was going to go with "666DEATHCLOUD420" but I changes my mind.
Anyway thanks a lot. Getting a gold star isn't really huge on the sift anymore but it has been over a year since my first post. And it was pretty much all during my downtime at work because the internet in New York is !@#$ing expensive and !@$#ing slow because there are too many people here. I guess I owe somebody one of these now. I'll have to look around.
And thanks again. I love it here.
And choggie, WHAT THE FUCK? TWO coherent sentences with punctuation and capitalization! I'm honored! HA!

The argument that marriage propogates the species is pretty tired. (and I'm not saying that you made that argument) A lot of people use it though and it falls flat after a little discussion. If people can't produce children at all, shouldn't they still be allowed to marry? And what about hermaphrodites? They really do exist you know. Can someone with an underdeveloped penis and vagina marry a woman if they too identify themselves with that gender? Is someone going to measure their organs to make sure that one is larger or dominant?
I don't know why you're opposed to same sex marriage because you didn't really say. But most of the arguments I've heard for being opposed to it can easily be countered in my experience.
That being said, I agree with you that our country's laws need to be created out of the democratic process. The only issue I see here though, is that part of me thinks that it should already be everyone's right. There's no law that says it shouldn't be everyone's right is there? If there is, can you name it? Isn't it already the right of everyone to marry whomever they choose?
When black people got the right to vote, did we have to all vote on it, or did we just all agree that they had always had the right? Really, I don't know the history there.
I think Jessie Ventura said it best:
"Love is bigger than govornment. Who the hell are we as a government to tell people who they can fall in love with? I think it's absurd, the fact (that) it's even being debated. We can solve the problem simply: government only acknowledges civil unions. Then you don't have to put your sex down. Let the churches acknowledge marriage."
