Open Your Mouth and Say HOLY SHIT

Remember that jingle "I went down down down to the burning ring of fire"? Well, this puts that phrase into retrospect.

What is that you may ask? Well, lets read what the article describes about it: "In 1971 a search for gas went wrong when a whole drilling rig fell into an underground cavern. Natural gas started coming up from the hole. It was set alight so it wouldn't kill everything around. For 35 years now the flames keep burning providing an spectacular seen for tourists. At night the burning gas makes the crater seen from miles away. The crater is located in Turkmenistan in the heart of the Karakum desert. The crater is called Darvaza or The Burning Gates." (link)
So, the burning gates? I wonder what is done there....

Hot damn! (no pun intended)(actually, that pun is intended)(dumbasses). It looks like the beginnings of hell. Well, at least we all know where we are going, or at least those who avidly contribute and/or read this blog. To top it off, here is a video of the entire length of the hell-hole.
