Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #176 – 2014-08-04, 15:19:23 They look more like sinkholes than craters. Best explanation I've heard is the topography can create pressure mounds of permafrost. Due to being raised from the surface and as a result of either pressure, other surface cracking or natural gas collection in the region the permafrost melts and it collapses in on itself.

Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #179 – 2014-08-09, 16:59:19 They're assholes - planet earth farted.Seriously, they're supposed to be caused by permafrost dirt slowly thawing and releasing methane trapped within, which forms bubbles which slowly rise to the surface. Big bubbles.
Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #180 – 2014-08-09, 23:37:20 Tut, tut, jimbro you are still in a fanatical mental state over your pal, Putin. I have it on good authority that it was created by Glasgwegians for the deposition of Edinburgh.

I mentioned this to Mayor Goodman and she estimated Eastenders to be a mere 11.283 percent superior to Glaswegians. There must be quite nasty business happening there.

Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #197 – 2014-10-17, 22:48:41 Ecology is a vital science — provided the science part isn't overwhelmed by ideology or "species-ism"*… Remarkable! Indeed. Was it predicted? I'm reminded of Hayek's speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize for Economics… (Of course, only because I've recently re-read it. ) He titled it The Pretense of Knowledge, and many of his points remain un-refuted but poorly received still today.—————————————————* You know: The usual "humans bad!"
