Odyssey Marine

A judge has ordered the return of half a million dollars worth of gold coins to Spain. A company named Odyssey Marine Exploration found the coins in a sunken ship. The ship had been carrying the loot to Spain from Peru when it was sunk in the 1800s. If the Spaniards wanted the treasure, why didn't they look for it? Now that someone else has done the hard work, they start whining. The Spaniards are famous for looting other countries. To this day, nobody knows what they did with all the gold that arrived safely from Mexico, the Carribean, and South America. Finders keepers I say or return it to Peru. Maybe we should ask this topless woman - she might know a couple of things about gold.

Global what?

From a Yahoo! News story: “PARIS – A massive ice shelf anchored to the Antarctic coast by a narrow and quickly deteriorating ice bridge could break away soon, the European Space Agency warned Friday. The Paris-based agency said satellite images show the bridge that connects the Wilkins Ice Shelf to Charcot and Latady Islands "looks set to collapse." "The beginning of what appears to be the demise of the ice bridge began this week when new rifts" appeared and a large block of ice broke away, it said.” I don’t worry about these things at all – I prefer tropical weather and I think the entire world should be tropical. The sooner the ice melts the better.
