dak4.com - I'll believe it when I see it

And even then, I doubt I'll want to use it.

Spain and Morocco say they have agreed to build a 39-kilometre rail tunnel beneath the Mediterranean Sea, to link Europe and Africa.
The Spanish Development Ministry said two adjacent tunnels will run beneath the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco.

They've both been discussing this forever, it would be great for Morocco, possibly good for Spain (possibly not so good). It'd certainly be cool to take a jaunt, by rail, to Morocco in the midst of a European vacation. Or vice-versa for that matter.

It will certainly make the Moroccan takeover of Europe easier.

Jeez ... the ferry isn't that much of a pain.

I wonder if it's a passenger train or for cargo. Article doesn't say.

P.S. Your RSS feed has the "body" of your articles doubled-up, e.g. http://blog.davidkearns.com/blogxbrowsing.asmx/GetRss?

Yeah, my aggregator is Bloglines and it looks like it's combining the two ... you're the only blog where I've seen the effect so far, so it must be YOUR FAULT! ;)

It actually looks like it is following this "xhtml:body" part of the "new" RSS 2.0 spec.
