Recent Sinkhole Near Disney Property Raises One Question: How Worried Should YOU Be?

[POLY LOVER]

As the name suggests, sinkholes are naturally occurring holes in the surface of the earth. Sinkholes can form gradually or -- as in the tragic case in Florida -- suddenly. They form in areas where water flowing underground has dissolved rock -- typically limestone -- below the surface, leading to the formation of underground voids into which the surface sediment falls, according to the website of the Florida Sinkhole Research Institute. They vary in size from 1 to 600 meters.

Sinkholes are found all over the world. In the U.S., sinkholes are especially common in Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Florida, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

You don't have many friends do you? You definitely don't have a sense of humor.

Not on Tuesdays.

Imagine 50,000 people walking through the park with their heads down, looking for sink holes. They may not sink, but their will be bruises and broken toes for everyone banging into everyone.

I thought the Horizons sinkhole was a myth, that was actually a thing?

That is hard to imagine...

Nope - myth. As I understand it, there was a sinkhole, but it was no where near Horizons.

Someone ought to inform the OP then. Unless this is some elaborate joke I'm not picking up on.

It's all humor - sarcastic, tongue in cheek, humor.

You know, I don't want to seem like the panic button that this Wellesley character is, but this final portrait of my Uncle Charlie would contradict your little theory.

A remarkable man, your Uncle Charlie was.

Just by looking at his final portrait I can tell he had a good sole(s).

Don't know how elaborate it is, but it is a joke.

Ah, my apologies then for letting it go over my head and looking a bit dim-witted there.

Would be great if it swallowed most of DHS all at once.

When it comes to falling in sinkholes, that is something that goes over most people's heads. (Unless you are abnormally tall).

To all those who think this is a joke, I disagree. This is the most serious post he's ever made!

I see that @Lucky has beat me to the punchline on that remark.

Disney definitely could market a sinkhole. They do have a movie named "holes". Now if they were legit they would call it a ho and have characters dressed like pimps walking around it.
