- onlysc, on 12/30/2008, -1/+13look... ice!
- Lar5, on 12/31/2008, -0/+7Science and rising oceans are all very nice, but what I'll always remember from this article is this:
"The robotic submarine, which has a maximum range of 248 miles and is powered by 5,000 ordinary D-cell batteries..." - cirrhosis, on 12/31/2008, -0/+6That sub uses a heck of a lot of batteries.
- Trigononamous, on 12/31/2008, -0/+6I've read enough Lovecraft to know this isn't a good idea.
- Flashypoo, on 12/31/2008, -0/+6They're gonna piss something off.
Or find Arthas IRL.
Or an intact civilization of ice-dinosaurs. And they'll piss those off, surely. - cynic573, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5Let's hope they find the Ancient outpost before we have to use it...
- tlarham, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5Dr. Peabody and Dr. Lake are turning over in their icy graves.
Watch out for shoggoths. - mattrmcg, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5Aren't there aliens and predators down there? Better send in Sigourney Weaver and Chris Hansen just to be safe
- Allik, on 12/31/2008, -0/+5You could power that or 833 of these ( http://www.amazon.com/NERF-N-STRIKE-Vulcan-EBF-25- ... ). :-P probably better to power the former...
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/31/2008, -1/+5Tekeli-li!
- inactive, on 12/31/2008, -0/+4There is a land mass there with a mountain range but what type of biology they may find will be facinating to see.
- wcarver, on 12/31/2008, -0/+35000 'D' cell batteries?? WTF! They couldn't afford a couple of high capacity Lithium batteries for a project of this magnitude? Let's hope the energizer bunny has the staying power.
- CoD4, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_vs._Predator_(f ...
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+3Didn't they use a hot wire?
- mamboboy, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3Well, better make the most of it now that it's still there n all.
- solidcube, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3Apparently I'm not the only person who feels a sense of creeping doom about this endeavor.
Nobody knows the trouble I see.
Nobody knows the sorrow.
IA IA SHUB NIGGURATH, BLACK GOAT OF THE WOODS WITH A THOUSAND YOUNG! - duke_nate, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3Something tells me the "5,000 ordinary D-cell batteries" aren't going to be enough to get the chair running....
- inactive, on 12/31/2008, -1/+4Only a putting flame to blood can tell who is infected.
- freebird09, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3you'd think it would be powered by something a little more complex or sophisticated...
- chiefs10, on 12/31/2008, -0/+3"The robotic submarine, which has a maximum range of 248 miles and is powered by 5,000 ordinary D-cell batteries..."
There's gotta be a better way to power that thing - NeoCortex, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2No, wait. It's Ice-Nine!
- pedepy, on 12/31/2008, -1/+3wouldnt it be easier to wait for it to have melted completetly?
- inactive, on 12/31/2008, -1/+3look...Agartha!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agartha - TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2Shoggoths. Someone's gonna get their head sucked off by a shoggoth.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2Tekeli-li!
- shniper, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2go science.
- inactive, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2I hope they will use the available ice for lemonade drinks and such.
- ashthecarcrash, on 12/31/2008, -2/+4I hope they have an ice time down there. Keep your cool guys, and don't get frosty!
- forgeflow, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2If they start hearing a thin piping sound over a wide range, they better get the hell out of there. Unknown Kadath waits in the cold wastes.
- colonelxc, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2"Recent research with the aid of GPS trackers on the ice placed by experts at the British Antarctic Survey has revealed just how fast the glacier is moving and they fear that could lead to sea levels rising by up to 10cm in the next 100 years if it continues at its current rate."
I guess I'm going to have to wait a while for waterworld... - sacramentalist, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2If you can think of a better way to get ice, I'd like to hear it.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2We're not who we are.
- CoD4, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2let's kick some ice!
- Cheysuli, on 01/01/2009, -0/+2I Cthulhu what you did there
- FlamingGuts, on 12/31/2008, -0/+2didnt those idiots see alien vs predator...
- slapthemonkey, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Isn't this fascinating?
- carmalite, on 12/31/2008, -2/+3Why is it melting? Global warming, perhaps. We keep reading about the tempreture changes in anartica and the artic and how the Atlantic is getting warmer. But they should still look under it to see if their is anything of scientific interest.
The world is warming and not much can be done because on one wanted to do anything until its too late. - jaymzdean, on 12/31/2008, -1/+2Coming soon to a theater near you.
- hoisonsauce, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1Maybe that's where they'll find Kirk Cameron's career.
- anubis2night, on 12/31/2008, -1/+2I actually thought it said "Scientists to explode beneath an Antarctic glacier" needless to say I'm not as excited by the article as I was before I hit the link.
- didgital, on 01/01/2009, -0/+1with so many batteries, it will simultaneously help understand and cause more global trauma. brilliant.
- Astark, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1The nazis aren't going to like this...
- wingsfan800, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1...or is it above the antarctic glacier?
- jba68, on 12/31/2008, -1/+2Watch out for the Colossus squid. Might make an horderve outta that sub
- Tarheelfan66, on 12/31/2008, -3/+1Oh my Lord! Is that Al Gore?
