Slashdot Mirror
Martian Sea Discovered
mpesce writes "New Scientist is reporting that a large sea of frozen ice (between 800 and 900 km in size and 45 m deep) has been discovered by the ESA's Mars Express Probe. Here's the kicker: the sea of block ice is only five degrees away from the Martian equator. New Scientist also links to a PDF of a paper to be presented next month about the finding." Update: 02/21 15:30 GMT by T : Note: that's 45 meters deep, not 45 kilometers deep.
Anybody who adds ice to a good whiskey deserves to be flown to Mars and left there!!!!!
No but, yeah but, no but...
The "Fear and Loathin in Las Vegas" book that Hunter S. Thompson wrote, which inspired this subject, apparently committed suicide yesterday with a gun shot to the head. Just an FYI. So long Hunter.
We are one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. Back to you with the weather, Bob!
Did you mean douche? I think you may have meant douche. And yes its still frozen.

Here you have in a nutshell the Slashdot take on the Greenhouse. Some know the Greenhouse is destroying us so well, comments don't even have to reference it directly to refer to it. And those comments are beyond "Interesting" or "Insightful" in their merit. And then there are others who'd rather suppress a comment than debate it - TrollMods who call it "Troll" when they really mean "-1, Scary".

And to press the point home further, the parent should be modded insightful, not funny. Ostriches with their heads in the sand may look funny, but when we humans do the same the consequences are not.
