In Antartica, Aotearoan soldiers have been digging a hole with ice picks. However they are not just digging any hole, but a tunnel that will be inside an Ice Berg! The point of it is for strategic purposes and research.

The Ice Berg will remain for atleast ten years before it melts.

It was indeed believed some nations didn't advance much, and it seems to be proven true in the case of this "Research"....

Neither do I. Although I've heard of ancient weather being intrepreted by various cracks and colors in paleolithic(sp?)-age iceburgs.

No he's doing the Brewster's Millions concept of shipping an ice berg to a nice desert country to make money on the water...

A monopoly on the WATER. I've never heard of something so LOW.

... Unless that's not really the case.

Yet again, Helen Clark invents another way to waste money.

Step away from the Iceberg! Antartica is neutral area according to the UN!

True, but he could just as easily find an iceberg that has broken off and drifted away from Antarctica, which brings me to my next question: If this iceberg drifts into the protected waters of some sovereign nation, what will your course of action be, considering you have your military working on what I presume to be a military project?

I would kindly ask all human beings to leave it and then either nuke it or blow it apart with som other form of explosive.

By focusing our mirror satellites on the iceberg we will melt the iceberg down within 3 days drowning all "scientists" and "miners" on it!! :lol:
