Hey, if you want lower sea levels -- or if anyone does -- remember the
proposal to flood the East African Rift Valley?  It's a fairly cheap
macroengineering project.  You just have to open up the part near the
Red Sea a little.  In fact, that can probably be done with a few well
placed conventional explosives and minimal excavation.  I'm sure if the
opening is widened just a wee bit, nature will do the rest...  Anyone
interested?

Later!
