8 Amazing Holes!
These holes are not only amazing, but some of them are really terrifying – especially #8! The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.

1. Kimberley Big Hole – South Africa
Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world,
this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds
before being closed in 1914.

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California
A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir

This is the ‘Glory Hole’ at Monticello dam, and it’s the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah
This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is ¾ miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.

4. Great Blue Hole , Belize
This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a
blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize ..
There are numerous blue holes around the world,
but none as stunning as this one.

5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia
I’m pretty sure most people have seen this one.
It’s an absolute beast and holds the title of largest
open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters
deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there’s
even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few
helicopters having been sucked in.

6. Diavik Mine, Canada
The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has
its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737.
It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.

7. Sinkhole in Guatemala
These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred
early this year in Guatemala . The hole swallowed
a dozen homes and killed at least 3 people

Don’t miss even a single word….. It’s Too good

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes..

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From….God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you.
Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t
go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light….But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought… It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir… The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation…and if so…you’ll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same…won’t you?….
this is a true story, and the student was none other than………….

Isn’t it strange how a 20 rupee note seems like such a large amount when
you donate it to temple, but
such a small amount
when you go shopping?
Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when
you’re at

Temple and how
short they seem when you’re
watching a good movie?

Isn’t it strange that you can’t
find a word to say when
you’re praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?

Isn’t it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read
one chapter
of the Bhagwad Gita, but how easy
it is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel ?

Isn’t it strange how everyone
wants front-row-tickets
to concerts or
games, but they do whatever
is possible to sit at the last
row in Jagran?

Isn’t it strange how we need to
know about an event for

Temple

2-3
weeks before the day so we can
include it in our agenda, but we can
adjust it for other events in
the last minute?

Isn’t it strange how difficult it
is to learn a fact about God to share it
with others, but how easy
it is to learn, understand,
extend and repeat gossip?


Isn’t it strange how we
believe everything
that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the
Bhagwad Gita?

Isn’t it strange how everyone
wants a place in
heaven, but they don’t want
to believe, do, or say anything
to get there?

Isn’t it strange how we send
jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded
right away,
but when we are going to send
messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share
it with others?

IT’S STRANGE ISN’T IT?

Forward this to anybody that you
consider a friend, family member or even foe. You need to know, and so do they…..

While visiting India, George Bush is invited to tea with Abdul Kalam. He

Asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is to

Surround him with intelligent people.

Bush asks how he knows if they’re intelligent. “I do so by asking them the

right questions,” says the Kalam. “Allow me to demonstrate. ”

Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, “Mr. Prime Minister,

please answer this question:

Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not

your brother or sister. Who is it?”

- Manmohan immediately responds, “It’s me, Sir!”

“Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir,” says Kalam.

He hangs up and says, “Did you get that, Mr. Bush?”

Bush nods: “Yes Mr. President. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely be using

that!”

Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he’d better put Condoleezza

Rice

to the test.

Bush summons her to the White House and says, “Condoleezza, I wonder if you

can answer a question for me.”

“Why, of course, sir. What’s on your mind?”

Bush poses the question: “Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has

a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”

Rice was puzzled and finally asks, “Can I think about it and get back to

you?” Bush agrees, and Rice leaves.

Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over

the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer.

Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.

“Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this

child is not your brother or your sister.

Who is it?”

Powell answers immediately, “It’s me, of course.”

Much relieved Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and

exclaims, “I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It’s

-

our Colin Powell !”

And Bush replies in disgust, “Wrong, it’s

-Manmohan Singh!”

Three Questions

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long
time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious
scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions.

Finally, his parents were able to find a Hindu scholar.

YOung man:

Who are you? Can you answer my questions?

SchoLar:

I am one of God’s slaves and If God willing, I will be able to answer
your questions.

YOung man:

Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer
my questions.

SchoLar:

I will try my best, with the help of God

YOung Man:

I have 3 questions:

1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.

2. What is fate?

3. If Devi) was created from the fire, why at the end he will

be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not

hurt him at all, since Devil and the hell were created from

fire.

Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the SchoLar slapped the young man’s face very hard. Young Man

(felt pain): Why do you get angry at me?

SchoLar:

I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.

YOung Man:

I really don’t understand.

SchoLar:

How do you feel after I slapped you?

YOung Man:

Of course, I felt the pain.

SchOlar:

So do you believe that pain exists?

YOung Man:

Yes.

SchoLar:

Show me the shape of the pain!

YOung Man:

I cannot.

SchoLar:

That is my first answer. All of us feel God’s existence without being
able to see His shape… Last night, did you dream that you will be
slapped by me?

YOung Man:

No.

SchoLar:

Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?

YOung Man:

No.

SchoLar:

That is fate my second answer…….. My hand that I

used to slap you, what is it created from?

YOung Man:

It is created from flesh.

SchoLar:

How about your face, what is it created from?

YOung Man:

Flesh.

SchoLar:

How do you feel after I slapped you?

YOung Man:

In pain.

SchoLar:

That’s it. This is my third answer, Even though Devil

and also the hell were created from the fire, if God wants,the hell
will become a very painful place for Devil.
