Neat undersea footage of super-chilled, super-salty brine coming down from the ice pack. The less salty, normal sea water freezes around it and forms ice tube until it reaches the sea floor - then KILLS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES!

Hahahaha!!! Been there, done that. Even married one of them. [bang] The ex by the way! [thumbsup]

Mother Nature is a cruel mistress. As much as it gives life it is constantly finding new ways to take it away. Yep... sounds like my ex! [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
