Just looking at that pic makes me want to punch someone. - unrequited, on 12/28/2007, -0/+30...what REALLY happened was "The Thing" attacked one guy and took over his body... now they airlifted it back to the mainland. OH NOS!
- smacksaw, on 12/28/2007, -1/+28With that Futurama marathon going on Cartoon Network, it's only natural they get into an altercation about the scientific veracity of the show's subplots. A ticking timebomb, really.
- Timmetie, on 12/28/2007, -2/+28That's just cold.
They did break the ice at the party but any future relations might be a bit frosty.
It's some ice cold competition out there, with a frosty for the one in pole position.
Snow. - RealmDown, on 12/28/2007, -0/+19Dude, chill !
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+18Probably some drunken argument over Penguins vs Seals
- harvinator24, on 12/28/2007, -3/+21Since it was on an american base, im sure his health care insurance is going to be a bitch
- oojamaflip2006, on 12/28/2007, -1/+16Its barely even a twig
- joemack, on 12/28/2007, -0/+15Here it's called hockey
- BitterPeace, on 12/28/2007, -2/+16Where the ***** is Kurt Russel?
- jks139, on 12/28/2007, -0/+12The cause and solution to all of life's problems.
- georgemason01, on 12/28/2007, -1/+12The penguins will soon reclaim their continent.
- timbo458, on 12/28/2007, -1/+11The dangers of alcohol! They should have been smokin' the green, they would have been too busy eating Cheetos for pugilism!
- RealmDown, on 12/28/2007, -0/+10Yep
- troyfoley, on 12/28/2007, -0/+9Someone should have been the bigger man and stepped outside to cool off.
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+9Or as we call it, just a typical monday.
- Binarydemon, on 12/28/2007, -0/+9Nothing to see here, this is merely the inevitable conclusion of all office parties.
- Ouze, on 12/28/2007, -0/+9They're doing it wrong. You need to get some blood in a petri dish and touch it with a hot wire, NOT just punch them in the jaw. Geez.
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -1/+9Most likely the biggest thing to happen in years.
- FidelBlack, on 12/28/2007, -0/+8"It is currently summer in Antarctica, with light snow falling and daytime temperatures hovering around freezing, making it relatively easy to fly back and forth to New Zealand."
Ahh the days of summer. - proliance, on 12/28/2007, -0/+8Because the Antarctic is in the south?
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+7Two men is hardly a "staff"
- shaka776, on 12/28/2007, -0/+7Rule Number 1: There is no frozen fight club.
- futureisours, on 12/28/2007, -1/+7This is an almost weekly occurrence in the russian-backed station up there. why is this news when americans brawl?
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6cabin fever
- superkendall, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6How is airlifting two people "evacuating the base"? The levels of exaggeration and hyperbole on digg are astounding.
- computergod, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6I read some article about the recruitment and testing they do when picking people to go there. They use it as sort of a simulation of what it will be like to send people on long space voyages. The people they pick are super, type A, really socially outgoing people. It has always struck me that that would be the worst kind of person to send out on something like that. People that need a lot social contact would be ill suited for that sort of thing IMO. Send in the basement dwellers, they won't even notice the difference.
- smacksaw, on 12/28/2007, -1/+7Knowing New Zealanders, they probably just sprung for the bill. They're decent like that.
- Mockylock, on 12/28/2007, -0/+5Well, they didn't have to go too far to get ice for his jaw.
I could imagine how tensions rise when you're confined to a place like that, for that long. Add a bit of alcohol and you're bound to have some type of issue. - tynansanger, on 12/28/2007, -0/+5They're a model for international unity, after all.
- akatherder, on 12/28/2007, -0/+5Our annual party is in a couple weeks. I've been waiting all year to get tanked up and bite a few ears.
- NeuroSlappy, on 12/28/2007, -0/+5Someone didn't know the ramifications of moving in on a liquored up guys core sample, you can get your mandible broken.
- gbro, on 12/28/2007, -0/+4You're all tip and no iceberg.
- CosmoKramer, on 12/28/2007, -0/+4He's checking on Blair at the tool shed.
- Chirp08, on 12/28/2007, -1/+5Nobody parties like *****!
- liquidjamm, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Too bad basement dwellers will require an internet connection to digg. Without it they will attempt to run home naked.
- liquidjamm, on 12/28/2007, -1/+3zing
- troyfoley, on 12/28/2007, -1/+3That's the crappiest haiku I've ever heard.
- TheBuzzKiller, on 12/28/2007, -1/+3punching, christmas, alcohol, or the antarctic?
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1global warming has reawakened the blob.
- esquimaux, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1yes "cabin fever", often relieved by running naked thru the snow screaming until the neighbors hauled you back inside.
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1they need Tazers down there.
- Roger, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Its a trick, BURN THEM!
- inactive, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Actually, it's two staffs. ooh!!
- billb914, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1c'mon we need at least 25 more "The Thing" references.....
- Frostek, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Only in Antarctica...
- gbro, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Pretty lucky, I heard there's good skiing in Christchurch.
- PinkFloydFan, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Last night I couldn't stop thinking about how I wanted to work in Antartica! I looked up jobs online and everything, only to wonder what the booze situation is on those science stations. Time to back my winter jacket!
- ubadojw1, on 12/28/2007, -0/+1Burn the blood!
- Ineedanap, on 12/28/2007, -1/+2didnt rtfa yet, but they dont send Helo's down there, it was probly a c130 cargo plane- much much more $$$
