Scientists Discover Singing Iceberg

Ant writes "ABC News Online reports that scientists, monitoring earth movements in Antarctica, say they have found a singing iceberg. They say the sound waves from the iceberg cannot be heard by humans, with a frequency of around 0.5 hertz. They resemble a swarm of bees or an orchestra warming up when played at higher speed."

First off, I suspect if you took almost anything and "listened" to it, you would find some such rhythm and/or pattern (either by speeding it up, as in this article, or by slowing it down). To then leap to "singing" is truly a leap. Of course the last line of the article may be some indicator:

The tune even goes up and down, just like a real song

Methinks the author may be confusing Britney Spears, et. al., with purveyors of music.

I farted and it sounded like a 50 cent song. Who the fuck cares?

These researchers are in great danger ...

"Through the desolate summits swept ranging, intermittent gusts of the terrible antarctic wind; whose cadences sometimes held vague suggestions of a wild and half-sentient musical piping ... and which for some subconscious mnemonic reason seemed to me disquieting and even dimly terrible." -- H.P. Lovecraft, 'At The Mountains of Madness'
