When MR-GO was built, the channel was 650 feet wide at the surface, the average width is now 1,500 feet. And adds: It's only 16 yars old, and erosion has tripled its width! No no no -- it was three times as wide (as originally constructed) by 1989! The sentence before the paragraph you quote is, "Construction was completed in 1965." OK, so that only increases the time it took from sixteen years to 24, but still... The canal is, as of our writings, 41 years old. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Yes Mr. Garrison, genetic engineering lets us correct God's horrible, horrible mistakes, like German people. - [link\|http://maxpages.com/southpark2k/Episode_105\|Mr. Hat]

I apologize for the error in my comments, and I will wear CRC's correction badge with honor. We all love you Christian (maybe not all); please continue your campaign of wit, brevity and accuracy.
