Don't tell frootbat about this sinkhole! He'll probably claim it's
the end of the Earth! Meanwhile, when it eats New York, let me know.
That should give me plenty of warning!

A Quebec man escaped with minor injuries early Thursday after the
minivan he was driving fell into a huge sinkhole, which has cut off
access to a small Quebec town.

Police say the sinkhole - which measures nine metres wide and six
metres deep - opened up on the road into Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel,
east of Montreal, around 1 a.m. Thursday.
