	They thought they knew where it was in general but were so accurate that they drilled right through the middle of it and missed it. __________________ jack of all trades

	Wonder what would happen if all the pressure in that lake were to escape when they finally hit it... Are they scheduled to hit the lake on December 21st 2012? Maybe Nostradamus and the Mayans were onto something... __________________ Don't believe everything you read on the Internet!
