What about that lake in South America that completely disappeared?  I read about this a few months ago in the news.  The lake levels were below normal so the scientists continued to monitor the lake.  They left and came back a couple months later for their next measurement and the entire lake had drained.  Where did the water go?

Could it be that all the oil drilling (and natural gas too) and extraction has left gigantic holes in the earth that eventually fill in with the shifting movement of the earth's tectonic plates?  Could it be that when that happens, soil (and anything on top of that soil) from hundreds or even thousands of miles away is pulled toward these holes?  Could it be that some of the recent rash of sinkhole openings could be related to oil drilling hundreds or even thousands of miles away?

Could water slowly (so far) be draining from the Great Lakes because of oil drilling hundreds and thousands of miles away?  Again, what about this lake in South America that at first was draining slowly and then suddenly completely disappeared?
