Why the hell should I care if Britney Spears has 10 statues carved with her ass in the air.
The world is coming apart people, and I'm not 'chicken little' either!
What are we prepared to do?!MONSTER WAVES
Vessel Measures Record Ocean Swells
By Markus Becker
A British research team has observed some of the biggest sea swells ever measured. A whole series of giant waves hammered into their ship that were so big, according to computer models used to set safety standards for ships and oil rigs, they shouldn't even exist.
When the RRS Discovery set out to sea, the crew was expecting stormy weather. Meteorologists had predicted a violent storm, and the scientists -- a team from Britain's National Oceanography Center -- wanted to observe it from up close. What they ended up experiencing went far beyond anything they could have imagined -- and could have cost them their lives.
