Proving that solid ground can just fall out from underneath us, Guatemala was hit recently by a link that swallowed several buildings and an entire intersection. No deaths were reported as a result of the sinkhole, but subsequent photos of the event are almost unbelievable, leading many to question if the pictures were “Photoshopped.”
In other shaky ground news, Al Gore and Tipper Gore announced their divorce this week, citing that the couple had diverged in expectations and ambitions. Some speculated part of the strain on the marriage came from Al Gore’s time in the public spotlight, from which he’d return home to a wife who knew “he puts his pants on one leg at a time."

In other pants news, five female news anchors have quit Al Jazeera, following complaints that a superior at the network harassed them because their clothes and makeup were not modest enough. If you think this can’t happen in the Western world, think again—a woman employed at a New York Citibank was recently fired for being “too hot.” The woman has hired a sex-positive women’s rights lawyer and is suing her former employers for trying to dictate what clothes she wore at work.
