Oh, that place. Every summer, the heat deoxygenates the water and kills off ~100,000 fish. This causes botulism among the birds and feed massive algae blooms. If it ever dries up, it will spawn massive dust storms into nearby resort towns.

Yeah. I was reading about the Aral Sea and its nonexistence ( http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Featur ... al_sea.php ), and someone mentioned that to me. I didn't know about it.

I remember watching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagues_%2 ... Salton_Sea. It was pretty interesting.

Edit: The picture series in that link are all really depressing.

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.

A lot of words seem to come from the "Olbanian language", which lived as the internet jargon in early 2000s, and is rarely used now.
