Evidence Points To Huge Underground River Beneath Amazon

chill writes "Researchers at the department of geophysics of the Brazil National Observatory have showed evidence of the existence of an underground river that flows 13,000 feet beneath the Amazon. The newly-named Hamza is said to be 3,700 miles long, flowing 13,000 feet below the Amazon. Both rivers flow from west to east, but the Hamza flows at only a fraction of the speed of Amazon."

    You're wrong. The planetoid is named after a greek God. Which of course was named after Mickey Mouse's dog.

    The planet isn't made of concrete (despite what New Yorkers think).

    Christ! We are not IDIOTS.
    Stuff above ground like buildings and raised sidewalks are made of concrete. Any blind idiot knows the ground is made of asphalt.
