i heard that someone nearby launched a submarine made of termites!
A bit of light hearted news, as a break from the normal "you ignorant jerk" stuff.
DEN OEVER, The Netherlands (Reuters) - A Viking ship made from ice-cream sticks set sail for England from the Netherlands on Tuesday.
The 15-metre (50-foot) long ship, named after the Norse god Thor, is made from 15 million recycled ice-cream sticks glued together by U.S.-born stuntman Robert McDonald, his son and more than 5,000 children.
"If you can dream it you can do it ... I want to teach children that anything is possible," McDonald said.
Badly injured as a child in a gas explosion that killed the rest of his family, he has loaded his ship with cuddly toys and plans to reach London and visit children in hospitals.
He and his crew hope to cross the Atlantic later on the ancient Viking route to North America via Iceland and Greenland.

Anyone else notice that the place name for this is very similar to "Denver". I would be willing to bet a small amount of cash, that it is not a coincidence, i.e. that "Denver" is a corruption of "Den Oever", and got its place name from some Danish settlers.

I don't think the termites would eat the sticks. I doubt they would like the type of glue used to withstand salt water.
they're al qaeda termites.
...In other news....since all our money is going to Iraq instead of infrastructure in our own country, the Bush Administration has proposed replacing this...
With this...
i'd do it just to recycle the metal. smartest thing 'w' ever did.
Its the wrong color.
Why would the administration propose to replace a Portuguese bridge?...In other news....since all our money is going to Iraq instead of infrastructure in our own country, the Bush Administration has proposed replacing this...
Maybe the bridge is hiding WMD's...
Seriously, that has got to be one of my best zingers in a long time...
Really?
You're bound to have had a couple better than THAT.
