Ozone Hole Getting Smaller

snark42 writes "According to Reuters and some other sources the hole in the ozone layer shrank 20% this year to a mere 9 million square miles. Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about."

  1. Aquanet from 1980s by vcjim · · Score: 4, Funny

    Generally, it takes Aqua-net approximately 15 years to escape the earth's atmosphere. The residual Aqua-net from 1980's groups like the Cure and Poisen , as well as teenage girls, who are now fat 30-somethings, has escaped the stratosphere. So long as fashion trends to not revert to high bangs and glam-band hair... we will survive.

    I plan to fill all volcano craters with empty MacDonalds packets so that when a volcano starts to get hot the package melts and blocks the crater with molten plastic!!!
