Huge mystery hole found in Siberia - No signs of Godzilla

[Stopsignhank]

I love when they just find random shit in Siberia. It's just this enormous, forbidding land mass with no practical utility, so it's largely ignored and then every now and then they find like 50,000 acres of tiaga just ripped the shit out or something, and it happened like 40 years ago, just didn't notice 'till now.

Like, I half expect them to find a village of leprachans or something, and then discover that the village predates human civilization. We just never knew about it, 'cause, you know, Siberia.

:thumbsup:

That's probably where everything that's gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle goes. They just appear in Siberia and, like you said, nobody ever notices. Maybe Siberia is God's Lost and Found. lol

The Soviets had satellites that could spot a skin rash on a gnat's ass but when it comes to photographilating humongous giant mystery holes we get the pixelated mess above?

Someone needs a better camera or has created a hoax with Photoshop.

Siberia has a ton of utility. Where do you expect me to send all my political prisoners and criminals?

I just threw up in my mouth.

As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberia#Economy

Siberia is extraordinarily rich in minerals, containing ores of almost all economically valuable metals—largely because of the absence of Quaternary glaciation outside highland areas. It has some of the world's largest deposits of nickel, gold, lead, coal, molybdenum, gypsum, diamonds, diopside, silver and zinc, as well as extensive unexploited resources of oil and natural gas. The Khanty-Mansiysk region is home to 70% of Russia's developed oil fields. Russia contains about 40% of the world's known resources of nickel at the Norilsk deposit in Siberia. Norilsk Nickel is the world's biggest nickel and palladium producer.

Siberian agriculture is severely restricted by the short growing season of most of the region. However, in the southwest where soils are exceedingly fertile black earths and the climate is a little more moderate, there is extensive cropping of wheat, barley, rye and potatoes, along with the grazing of large numbers of sheep and cattle. Elsewhere food production, owing to the poor fertility of the podzolic soils and the extremely short growing seasons, is restricted to the herding of reindeer in the tundra—which has been practiced by natives for over 10,000 years. Siberia has the world's largest forests. Timber remains an important source of revenue, even though many forests in the east have been logged much more rapidly than they are able to recover. The Sea of Okhotsk is one of the two or three richest fisheries in the world owing to its cold currents and very large tidal ranges, and thus Siberia produces over 10% of the world's annual fish catch, although fishing has declined somewhat since the collapse of the USSR.

Now I know how you got your custom title.

Yea. And it's got water and ice in it. No surprise there. That area is pockmarked with various sized holes filled with water and ice all over the place. These are obviously sink holes. When they are suddenly formed, they probably burp up a lot of rocks, dirt and mud, forming a slight mound of dirt around the holes. So no UFOs, Sandworms or asteroids found.

It's where the planeload of dead, bloodsucked Malaysians popped back into the living world only to be shot down by Ukrano-russian vampire hunters.

Did anyone else have a horrible flash back of goatse?
