I know an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she’ll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird,
How absurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed the fly,
I guess she’ll die.

US Coast Guard Ice breaker asked to assist Antarctic rescue

Isn't that a little outside their jurisdiction? Didn't we have any US Navy in the area?

I think most folks figured that one way or another American taxpayers would end up paying for this nonsense.

It’s not a joke to the crews of any of those ships
and that includes the American one.

This story is far from over because the Polar Star is rated at breaking ice less than 1 meter thicker than the stuck Chinese icebreaker.

We’re sending a ship that can break 6 meters, where the ice is piling up a lot more than that. I hope they know what they’re doing.

The correct response should have been “no, thanks”.

The Polar Star is able to continuously break ice up to 1.8 metres (6ft) while travelling at three (3) knots and can break ice over six (21ft) metres thick

That is impressive!!

Get a charge card number upfront...start the meter running as soon as the decision is made to go...
