EIN GEDI, Israel - Eli Raz was peering into a narrow hole in the Dead Sea shore when the earth opened up and swallowed him. Fearing he would never be found alive in the 30-foot- deep pit, he scribbled his will on an old postcard.
I got chatting to an old Latvian lady at work the other day. She filled me in on how Latvia fared during WWII. Now *that* totally killed any complaints I may have had about my life. Falling into a sinkhole? Scary stuff, but not as downright terrifying as being treated so inhumanely by other people.

Yep, the area around the Dead Sea is fun. Just don't hike onto a sinkhole or into Egypt and don't swim or boat into Jordan (or vice versa) and you'll be fine. :)
Really, though, the last time I was there I got regaled with the story of a guy who managed to save his girlfriend from a sinkhole but got so badly injured in the process he fell into a coma. This is always happening.
The only thing I remember about the dead sea was that I was screaming in pain. Cuts and open blisters don't go well with 33% salt water (salt water for other oceans is usually about 3%).
