Antarctic Mountains

Apparently scientists are studying the ice sheet covering Antarctica. Among other things they've learned that there exists a large mountain range that rivals the Alps in height. The interesting thing to me was the following:

The mountains would probably have been ground down almost flat if the ice sheet had formed slowly. But the presence of jagged peaks might mean the ice formed quickly, burying a landscape under up to 4 km (2.5 miles) of ice.

Now, how could that have happened?

Or maybe not

As these "discoveries" tend to go, it looks like "Atlantis" may not exist where someone thought it did after all.

I smell a RAT

No, not the little critter that tends to become endangered whenever there's a cat around. I'm talking about the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board. How is this stimulating the economy?

The lost city of Atlantis?

Now this is just weird. It looks like a city at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. Someone was browsing on Google Ocean and found this interesting site that no one else ever saw before.

When the world (almost) came to an end

According to this September 18th, 2008 almost marked the end of the world as we knew it. But it didn't happen. Someone pointed out that it was the turnaround point from when McCain/Palin went from leading in the polls to trailing again. It makes you wonder who might be behind the events of that day.
