Earth's Crust Missing In Mid-Atlantic
"Scientists have discovered a large area thousands of square kilometers in extent in the middle of the Atlantic where the Earth’s crust appears to be missing. Instead, the mantle - the deep interior of the Earth, normally covered by crust many kilometers thick - is exposed on the seafloor, 3000m below the surface."

Could the event that caused this huge section of crust to go missing have been responsible for the change in thermohaline circulation that occurred at the end of the period known as the "Younger Dryas" in which the temperature in Greenland rose 10 degrees in a decade. (Remember there was no industrial pollution at the time)LOL

I thought this was an interesting development. If I remember correctly this was postulated more than a century ago by a Republican Congressman from Minnesota.

Now they are taking our crust too? Will Dick Cheney and his Halliburton minions stop at nothing to rule the world?

Scientists may replace this crust with the one in M. Moores underwear.

You mean that guy on the old Art Bell program that told us about the magma flowing inside the earth was correct?
