There was a Norwegian supply clerk who issued Night Vision goggles to the soldiers during the long Arctic summer. Once informed of her needless issuance she said: "Well, I feel like a blond"...and her commanding officer said: "But Ma'am, you are blond."
http://earth.google.com/ This tool made available by Google for free is the epitomy of what is good about the internet. You can zoom in and check out all the places you have been and are going. No, sorry, the resolution is not good enough to see any poles.
Penguins It is a little known fact but the reason the penguins are at the south pole is because the polar bears are at the north pole.
Polar Bears It is a little known fact but the polar bears would really really like to visit the south pole someday. They hear lunch is something special.
Apply for membership in the Bipolar Religion. Of course you have to like a whole lot of it. The good thing about it is that it can be either light or dark. Note: We do not discriminate against equatorial people. We just think your decision to live in increments of twelve hour days and twelve hour night is really weird. Weirdos!
Membership has reached a new high in the Bipolar Religion. The exciting thing is most of them profess to be pole worshippers. Bless their hearts.
For those people who suffer from being bipolar we know now that your bipolarness in the long run has substance. So rather than seek medical treatment for being Bipolar, refine your disease, macerate in it, go lock yourself in the closet and practice it.
Russia to Claim North Pole
Russia is planting their flag under the sea at the North Pole today (8/4/2007). The plan to place the Russian flag underneath the ice and directly on the sea bed is an effort to ensure that the world is aware of Russia's claim on the North Pole as part of the country's Exclusive Economic Zone. Two small submarines will dive from a surface research ship to plant the flag. A member of Russia's parliament will be on board one of the subs. This is the first I've heard of underwater flag planting and it will be interesting to see if Russia's claim is acknowledged through this act. Canada and Denmark are also very interested in maintaining claims to the Arctic. The New York Times has more.
