Scientists Sound Alarm: ‘Aliens in Antarctica’ .

[arachadillo]

3. Joke du jour

listening to lectures covering Antarctic paleoclimatology reminded me of the importance of replying to a thread by starting with a joke.

Here goes?

Why are Rs like Antarctica?

Because they are currently situated under a vortex created by their man made ozone hole, explaining their complete oblivion to the weather facts on the ground in the world around them.

Anyway, interesting to hear about the bluegrass, springtails, and weeds.

Next thing you know, we'll be back to the future, or what the Antarctic paleoclimatologists refer to as the super-sized age of Antarctica global warming (some 50-80 million years ago) when Antarctica experienced its tropical phase, incapable of supporting temperate organisms such as "bluegrass, springtails, and weeds".

Rumor has it that the ancient Antarctic aliens preferred cool brews in their once tropical paradise.
