Impassable Northwest Passage Open For First Time In History

An anonymous reader writes "The Northwest Passage, a normally ice-locked shortcut between Europe and Asia, is now passable for the first time in recorded history reports the European Space Agency. Leif Toudal Pedersen from the Danish National Space Centre said in the article: 'We have seen the ice-covered area drop to just around 3 million sq km which is about 1 million sq km less than the previous minima of 2005 and 2006. There has been a reduction of the ice cover over the last 10 years of about 100 000 sq km per year on average, so a drop of 1 million sq km in just one year is extreme.'"

    A few years ago, while browsing around the library downtown, I
    had to take a piss. As I entered the john a big beautiful all-American
    football hero type, about twenty-five, came out of one of the booths.
    I stood at the urinal looking at him out of the corner of my eye as he
    washed his hands. He didn't once look at me. He was "straight" and
    married - and in any case I was sure I wouldn't have a chance with
    him.

    As soon as he left I darted into the booth he'd vacated,
    hoping there might be a lingering smell of shit and even a seat still
    warm from his sturdy young ass. I found not only the smell but the
    shit itself. He'd forgotten to flush. And what a treasure he had left
    behind. Three or four beautiful specimens floated in the bowl. It
    apparently had been a fairly dry, constipated shit, for all were fat,
    stiff, and ruggedly textured. The real prize was a great feast of turd
    - a nine inch gastrointestinal triumph as thick as a man's wrist.

    I knelt before the bowl, inhaling the rich brown fragrance and
    wondered if I should obey the impulse building up inside me. I'd
    always been a heavy rimmer and had lapped up more than one little
    clump of shit, but that had been just an inevitable part of eating ass
    and not an end in itself. Of course I'd had jerk-off fantasies of
    devouring great loads of it (what rimmer hasn't), but I had never done
    it. Now, here I was, confronted with the most beautiful five-pound
    turd I'd ever feasted my eyes on, a sausage fit to star in any fantasy
    and one I knew to have been hatched from the asshole of the world's
    handsomest young stud.

    Why not? I plucked it from the bowl, holding it with both
    hands to keep it from breaking. I lifted it to my nose. It smelled
    like rich, ripe limburger (horrid, but thrilling), yet had the
    consistency of cheddar. What is cheese anyway but milk turning to shit
    without the benefit of a digestive tract?

    I gave it a lick and found that it tasted better then it
    smelled. I've found since then that shit nearly almost does.

    I hesitated no longer. I shoved the fucking thing as far into
    my mouth as I could get it and sucked on it like a big brown cock,
    beating my meat like a madman. I wanted to completely engulf it and
    bit off a large chunk, flooding my mouth with the intense, bittersweet
    flavor. To my delight I found that while the water in the bowl had
    chilled the outside of the turd, it was still warm inside. As I chewed
    I discovered that it was filled with hard little bits of something I
    soon identified as peanuts. He hadn't chewed them carefully and they'd
    passed through his body virtually unchanged. I ate it greedily,
    sending lump after peanutty lump sliding scratchily down my throat. My
    only regret was the donor of this feast wasn't there to wash it down
    with his piss.

    I soon reached a terrific climax. I caught my cum in the
    cupped palm of my hand and drank it down. Believe me, there is no more
    delightful combination of flavors than the hot sweetness of cum with
    the rich bitterness of shit.

    Afterwards I was sorry that I hadn't made it last longer. But
    then I realized that I still had a lot of fun in store for me. There
    was still a clutch of virile turds left in the bowl. I tenderly fished
    them out, rolled them into my handkerchief, and stashed them in my
    briefcase. In the week to come I found all kinds of ways to eat the
    shit without bolting it right down. Once eaten it's gone forever
    unless you want to filch it third hand out of your own asshole. Not an
    unreasonable recourse in moments of desperation or simple boredom.

    I stored the turds in the refrigerator when I was not using
    them but within a week they were all gone. The last one I held in my
    mouth without chewing, letting it slowly dissolve. I had liquid shit
    trickling down my throat for nearly four hours. I must have had six
    orgasms in the process.

    I often think of that lovely young guy dropping solid gold out
    of his sweet, pink asshole every day, never knowing what joy it could,
    and at least once did, bring to a grateful shiteater.

      this is worse than the OP

      at least the OP was obviously fake/troll/spam/what-the-fuck-ever

      but yours is disturbingly real and u r disturbingly obtuse.
      that OP may have been a troll, but ppl like that the guy in his "story" DO exist ... and while i'm not really curious to hear more about or from them, if that makes em happy, why would i or you care?

      as about the other guy and his wife's butt ... that stuff is mainstream normal nowadays and should have been all along ... ppl were doing it thousands of years ago and noone ever had a problem with it until the christians came along with their retarded rules about whats ok and whats not ok to do with your mouth, penis, asshole, etc...

    So just because this guy looks at real-world economic implications of a problem instead of jumping on an 'al gore is right!' bandwagon, the comment was modded to 'troll' - that's some kind of wrong there, somehow.

    You said I am God.

    I don't think so.

    God and I were having bacon cheese burgers at Hooters the other day, and He told me He doesn't have a Slashdot account. Why would He lie to me?

    Then I told him a ribald joke that He hadn't heard before, and he snorted milkshake out his nose.

    Yeah. If I was talking about ice volume, it is a big change. Too bad the thread was concerning the Northwest Passage.
     
    Non ice-breaker traversals of the NW passage -
    10 years ago: If you planned it right and went during the summer you probably made it.
    This year: If you planned it right and went during the summer you probably made it.
    Wow. What a huge, mind boggling difference. I bow to your superior intellect.
     
    Hey, why don't you post some quotes from the article summary at me to show me how wrong I was about my interpretation of TFA in regards to the navigability of the passage, you know, since that's what I was talking about. Ass.
