    A 100 foot diameter sinkhole and yet the house is still sitting there in the picture?

    The house must be bigger than it looks.

    It really bugs me that when somebody has died in a tragic accident, people joke about it.

    That was somebody's son, somebody's brother who died at a young age. Rip.

    People will be flocking to Florida to get rid of their unwanted "loved ones", it's cheaper than hiring a divorce lawyer.

    I'm inconsolable here, our thoughts at this time are with his family.
    To think that one of the 7 billion people on earth actually died.
    If we hadn't heard about it I'm sure everything would be OK.

    Its not the fact that people die that bugs me. That's natural.

    Its people who joke about a tragedy that bugs me. Death isn't funny and somebody's life shouldn't be joked about like that.

    Funnily enough that's the kind of sinkhole I was thinking of, and it being America, I wouldn't put something like that happening by it :pac:

    Thats grand so. The next mention here of a road death or child getting burnt to death or whatever will be met with jokes from me. Thats ok by you and a good few others then? Are we all agreed then?

    This is one of my worst nightmares. Can you imagine? Fast asleep and then suddenly you fall into nothingness. Christ, even thinking about it is giving me shivers.

    If a child died in a fire in Florida or someone was killed in a car crash there, people would still not joke about it.

    I hate crude and unnecessary jokes myself but sometimes the circumstances of a death call for a certain amount of levity.

    Especially in a forum such as this one.

    The house must be bigger than it looks.

    It's underground, they would use radar to detect it's layout. A bit of it opened up into the bedroom.
