The hole was formed in 1971 when a team of soviet geologists had their drilling rig collapse when they hit a cavern filled with natural gas. In an attempt to avoid poisonous discharge, they decided to burn it off, thinking that the gas would be depleted in only a few days. Derweze is still burning today </p> </blockquote> <p>wuttt</p>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23732806569http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23732806569Fri, 25 May 2012 08:59:52 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1oeikNHjc1rpi3zmo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23674887199http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23674887199Thu, 24 May 2012 10:56:02 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2wbjnHonV1rurn7qo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>i love her hair at the end of the movie~</p>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23672799156http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23672799156Thu, 24 May 2012 09:51:14 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s1hmbppK1r8rt92o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hoopingdotorg.tumblr.com/post/22740366177/hooping-org-columnist-lara" target="_blank">hoopingdotorg</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Hooping.org columnist </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lara.eastburn" target="_blank">Lara<span></span> E<span></span>astburn</a><span> of </span><a href="http://superhooper.org/" target="_blank">Superhooper.org</a><span> celebrates her birthday hooping. </span><span>A Hooping.org Photo of the Day.</span></p> </blockquote>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23670946928http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23670946928Thu, 24 May 2012 08:56:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qeyhPrLQ1qh69b9o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://skudfisher.tumblr.com/post/22689648163/ink-squid-bot" target="_blank">skudfisher</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Ink Squid Bot</p> </blockquote>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23612095862http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23612095862Wed, 23 May 2012 10:52:16 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3yjovHz711rvfmn7o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>aww, the one with little liver spots on the right :3</p>http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23610052423http://craftysquid.tumblr.com/post/23610052423Wed, 23 May 2012 10:01:30 -0500
