Missing: One Ice Island
« on: August 09, 2010, 08:53:07 pm »

A chunk of ice 100 miles square and 700 feet thick broke off of Greenland.  It's floating loose around the ocean and slowly disintegrating.  Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) had his own take on the matter.

Shitstorm will start of it's own accord.  In the meantime, hey, free mobile ice island.

Hulking piece of ice floating around the ocean basically threatning anything that comes close?
Why are there not pics of this already? Sounds stupidly awesome.

EDIT: There is, ITS A HUGE ICE BOOMERANG.

 Ironically this is exactly what Futurama proposed to stop global warming.

Our handsomest politicians proposed importing ice.  Ice that's already here doesn't really work.  I'm sure the Emperor of the Moon could explain the whole thing quite succinctly.

 That would imply me and Mr. Moonman are on speaking terms. Which we are not.

That island is ours.  Come on guys, let's go claim our kingdom.  We'll prey on international shipping to supply ourselves with food, and it's not like we'll need water or anything.

Sick burn from Markey. Note his phrasing, though. "Republican climate deniers". They deny the climate, man.

I agree with Cthulhu. Bay 12 has found a land to claim for itself. Someone get Toady, we can't create our very short lived sovergen nation without our illustrious leader.

And we'll have big Waterworld style windmills for power, and satellite Internet, and giant computer servers to pirate the shit out of stuff so we can really be pirates, and I'll have an awesome steering wheel where the waves break in your face.  The wheel won't actually do anything, because you can't really steer a glacier, but it's vital for dramatic Captain poses and stuff.

The climate is undeniable.  Can't turn your back on that climate.  The climate don't take that shit.

Good thing it's not an American ice-wad.

Then we'd be all like "OUR LAND MELTED AND COVERS THE OCEAN, SO WE NOW OWNS ALL THE OCEAN"

Then we will be the first. They will call us mad, but who will be laughing when the nuclear winter kills everyone else? Oh right, the Glorious Empire of Bay 12.

Just have to build a desalinization machine.  Anyone got any corkscrews?

We can, but if you want to see it, you'll have to be quick.
