of how far below sea level the surface to the Dead Sea lies.
Its surface and shores are 423 metres (1,388 ft) below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land. Randall is a master of visualization. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you... |

10. It's a little tongue in cheek humor.
