Back in February a giant sinkhole opened up underneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It swallowed up a number of the museums cars, doing a million dollars in damage. This was, of course, a Bad Thing. But fortunately, the people running the museum had some sense…

Corvette museum likely to keep part of sinkhole

In short: they’ve made bank on their disaster. Attendance is up 60% and they’re selling sinkhole t-shirts and the like. Their plan is to keep about half of the 40-foot-wide, 60-foot-deep hole as part of the permanent display. Which begs the question: how do you keep *half* of a hole?

Anyway, good for them. Nature dealt them a blow, and they figured out how to capitalize on it.
