| 2005-05-19 | ||
| What are we up to on Signs and Portents? MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian village was left baffled Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight.
Hellgate. Gotta be. Officials in Nizhegorodskaya region, on the Volga river east of Moscow, said water in the lake might have been sucked down into an underground water-course or cave system, but some villagers had more sinister explanations. "I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house. looks like Granny blames Bush...

| #30 Funny, tu and the rest. Actually lakes dissapearing overnight is not that uncommon - Limestone is riddled with underground water courses that get blocked with mud/clay, blockade springs a leak, lake drains away. |

| #29 "I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman.... OOPS! Looks like ya got da goods on us granma. What we did was transport a Florida sink hole to Bolotnikovo, installed it during the night and then the next morning pulled the plug. Voila! The old disappearing lake trick. |

| #19 Oops - they used to be for pumps and santiation devices; now they're for Christian write-offs and tsunami. I guess the Googleniki's algorithms match a Frinch-soundin' name with Tsunamis and charitable stuff. Brilliant. |

| #13 For half of the $ 30K in Rubles you could buy a small forklift to carry the other half of the "small unmarked bills" around in. |

| #8 "I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house. That was mere practice, babushka: we got us a pump here that'll suck Lake Baikal dry in sixty seconds flat. Now fork over the rubles. |
