There is a basis in fact, just no basis in regards to the article linked. I just though it was something funny about the fact that they can't seem to find their Rubber duckies.

I wonder if it mean that ice lakes are forming under the greenland ice sheet? Ice lake forming under the Greenland ice sheets is kind of a scary ideal though

There's no basis in fact. It's like saying American Airlines can't get people to their destination because of 9/11.

How many Shuttle mission have there been? There have been two total failures, so that make NASA record for safety at only 98%. If every time you got in a car you knew you have 2% chance of dieing, would you call that safe?

now let go back to the missing duckies in Greenland

Wow, what a failed analogy.

Let me tell you, if every time I strapped myself on massive quantities of exposives about to be detonated so that the force from the blast would shoot me out of the fucking planet I knew I had a 98% chance of actually making it, I wouldn't only feel safe, I would also be pretty fucking impressed.

I think there's probably a 98% chance that eenin was dropped as a child. Onto his head. From a great height.

Perhaps the ducks aren't showing up because the ice isn't melting.

Why didn't they strap locator beacons to them or something? GPS is small these days, right?

I shouldn't have to explain this to you of all people, but...here goes:

There's this goddess named Persephone, right? Well, Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, who's pretty much in charge of just about everything season-related (that's a summary, but I don't have all day).

Also, Persephone's a bit of a hottie, if you know what I'm saying.

So, a while back, Hades (you DO know who that is, right?) gets a good look at miss hot thang (that's Persephone) and decides he simply MUST have her. So he yoinks that bitch back down to his realm and he's all, "You my wife!"

Demeter ain't having none of that shit. She tells Zeus (10 pts if you can guess who HE is) that, until she gets Persephone back, no more happy sun, rain, harvest...all that jazz. So then Zeus is all like, "Hades...dude...come on don't be an asshole."

Long story short, Hades agrees to let Persephone spend MOST of the year topside with her mommy, but she has to come down with him for a few months every year.

Demeter counters by fucking things up while Persephone is gone.

Your religion hangs in the balance.

You forgot to add that the Earth is coming out of a mini Ice Age so it's natural for the climate to warm up a little. Don't leave the anti climate change trifecta of hollow arguments incomplete.

This is the funniest Goddam thing I've seen 'round these parts in quite some time. The whole story was good, but the above lines made me laugh out loud. Comedy fucking gold. I doff my cap to you (possible because of the new improved warmer climate we're all enjoying) sir!
