'It is an event so large that the best seat in the house is in space: a massive iceberg is on a collision course with a floating glacier near the McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica. NASA satellites have witnessed the 100-mile-long B-15A iceberg moving steadily towards the Drygalski Ice Tongue. Though the iceberg's pace has slowed in recent days, NASA scientists expect a collision to occur no later than January 15, 2005.'

It's obviously one of those cigar shaped space craft.

Well with the Internet you never know we might be able to hear those sounds...The 15th is this saturday so it should be an interesting week to follow up on this event..

I wonder what's next? The Planet has a bad case of Acid Indigestion lately.

I have always loved shaved ice...

That's the question. Are we going to get shaved ice, crushed ice, chipped ice, smaller ice cubes, or just two great big ice cubes stuck together (like when you put too much water in the ice tray). Can't wait to find out. "Cool" post.

"It will certainly be a blow far larger than anything else the ice tongue has ever experienced," says Bindshadler. "

Hmmm. Something subtlety nasty here!

there a more BLOCKHEADS like these in the Senate.

Clinton, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry etc, and they are all huge monolithic blocks of crap just floating around obstructing a lot of productive and great things the President wants accomplished.

if you are saying that the BLOCKHEADS are like the icebergs then I agree with you.
