CNN today reported on explorer's finding the world's deepest hole. Located in inside a mountain range in central Croatia, the cave weaves for 203 feet and then plunges down 1,693 feet, said Ana Sutlovic Baksic of the Velebit Speleological Soceity. Spelunking is apparently quite popular in Croatia. You might wonder what might be at the bottom of such a pit, should you ever accidentally fall in... would you believe, one of the largest known colonies of subterranean leeches? Great. I wonder what they eat down there... fish?
