Location: North Merrimon Avenue, Asheville, North Carolina. Parking lot of a bicycle shop. Second time, apparently, that this has happened. I couldn't get a shot looking all the way in (I was too chicken to go past the yellow tape), but they say it's about twenty feet deep. So where does all that soil go?

I'm a bit behind on my news, but this is really interesting. Thanks to Fausto and Mark on the Feast of Fools I discovered this story on 247Gay.com.

"A medical report from the French hospital where Yasir Arafat passed away in 2004 reveals that the late Palestinian leader actually died of AIDS, ending years of speculation that the cause of death was assassination."

"While Arafat was ill, according to the Jewish Press, there was some speculation that he was gay and dying of AIDS."
