Are you worried about arsenic? This Wired article will make you worry more.
Heh. We have a deep well....wonder if it's ever been tested for arsenic levels.
One of the biggest biological man made disasters was/is in Bangladesh, where they dug deep wells so people would have clean water and not die of cholera or dysentery...years later, there was an epidemic of low grade arsenic poisoning.

The "garbage pit" of the Pacific ocean may actually exist, and then there is the sargasso sea, where according to legend, was full of dead ships never were able to get out of the area.
But what is this about the "Black hole" of the ocean?
and what do they have to do with currants that affect our climate?
some of the largest ocean eddies on Earth are mathematically equivalent to the mysterious black holes of space. These eddies are so tightly shielded by circular water paths that nothing can escape from the inside of these loops, not even water.

I hear that the Minneapolis "Mall of America" is increasing security (some of the Americans who attacked the Kenya mall were probably from the Minneapolis Somali community).
Well, that mall is a "gun free zone"...I have a better idea: Most folks in Minnesota have guns and know how to shoot. Just let everyone carry a rifle or pistol when shopping, and no problem...
Yes, I am joking, but stories about rescuers with guns are now coming out in the UK press.
