Use No 40 NEW.SPEAK
new•speak
Pronunciation: (nOO'spēk)
Coined in George Orwell's classic book '1984', new.speak is an official or semiofficial style of writing or saying one thing in the guise of its opposite, esp. in order to serve a political or ideological cause while pretending to be objective
The Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely Partnership has just won two awards for its outstanding contribution to New.Speak
The title of the Partnership (Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely) is in itself blatant New.Speak
Other key examples of MRWS new.speak are:
*Democratic Process
*Volunteer
*Willing Community
all saying one thing in the guise of its opposite.

World's biggest hole :
The world’s biggest hole Mirny Diamond Mine is located in Russia. The giant hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia. It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter.
Chris Huhne plans to trump that with a hole 1000 meters deep, 26 km square and filled with high level nuclear wastes.
