> > Cleopatra's Palace < < is in Egypt....it is flooded by approx. 20' of water ~ polluted water ~ but not from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It was pretty much leveled by an earthquake in the 400's.

Also, there has been quite a bit of coverage on the [heinous] oil spill tragedy here in Austin. The oil has now reached the marshlands of Louisiana and they will never be the same. Unlike the Valdeeze tragedy, there will be much more of a long~term effect on the wildlife and countless jobs will be lost and may never be recreated again. The last I heard, over 20,000 people are working ~ and failing ~ on trying to keep the oil from destroying the coastline of LA......AND......if the oil travels into the current loop, and it travels east and south, the coral reefs of southern Florida risk being destroyed.

So is that a big story? I'd say so. And...in the words of President Obama to a cabinet member, "Get the damn hole plugged!".

Yeah....it's on my mind.
