I'm serious here, it is a small country called The Netherlands which is
for about one third below actual seal level.

But not 200 feet below, surely?

Wow! It's for stuff like this that I continue to read the newsgroups
despite all the crap that gets posted. I had NO IDEA the Dead Sea was
anywhere near that far down.

I would seriously like to visit (probably not in a floatplane,
however). I drove across Death Valley one time and enjoyed the spooky
feeling that if somecut cut a trench to the Pacific, the VW would have
had a chance to prove the contention that Bugs float ...

It is not that bad, lowest point here is -22,18 ft.
But what makes some people nervous overhere is that the sea is just a
few hunderd ft away.

Thank you. I try to assure that my articles contain more
*information* than opinion. While opinion isn't *always* "crap," it
is often extraneous (like this follow up).
