Re: Is there a Geologist (or Mathematician) on here

Don't worry Jazzi, all the water on the Earth is the same water that's always been here so we're all re-cycling it!
I don't know about oil but we've had some sink holes around here, mostly caused by coal mines, so I think someone should be going around filling up holes!

Good idea to fill them in Twiz before a real tragedy happens, but with all the restrictions on getting rid of rubbish what would they fill them in with?

First off, if that is just my consumption, extrapolate that usage across the good folks of planet earth, and more importantly, what is going to fill this friggin great void.
There's a big semi that comes along at night with lots of petrol and fills a tank under the petrol station up again. I've watched them do it when they thought no one was watching, no need to worry about a void. You can rest easy tonight.
