For those of you going, "Wait, What??" I invite you to listen to the radio interview, they actually say that about 3:25 in. Along with other gems like, "How did you find it?" "Well, in layman's terms, we looked for it." and "We identified it using eyewitness accounts." "I thought all the Titanic passengers were dead."

So yes, the iceberg that sunk the Titanic is now scheduled for asplosion and we can't even blame it on America's love of blowing shit up! Now all we need is for this cultured scientist to say, "Take that, you monster," when they push the button.

Wait, why blow it up? You could sell tickets to see it and make a tidy profit.

Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?

I'd say if it's potentially in the way of other ships, they should blow it up, preferably by stabbing it until it explodes. Otherwise, well... meh.

Because don't fuck with Canada, that's why.

If you hurt people, they'll come after you, even if you've been quiet for nearly a hundred years. They're like Nazi hunters, but with inanimate objects.

Who cares? There's more ice floating out there.

Or they could leave it for ten years and let it melt.

[up], [up][up] If you listen to the interview, they do go into that - the currents in the North Atlantic normally push an iceberg back up north into the sub-freezing zone, where it starts accumulating more ice. Otherwise, it wouldn't still be around a century later for them to find teacups and paint inside their ice samples.

Some ask "why blow it up?" when the proper question is "why not?".

And some say it was the navigator's fault and not the iceberg's. Now if don't mind, I'd like that thing to stay intact for environmental reasons.

I call Male Bovine Fecal Material. They suspected that they found it some weeks after the sinking, due to red paint being visible along the wateline of a particular iceberg, but still, 100 years later? Really? You'd think this would make more news than just one article.

Color me skeptical.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. The pretty explosion is just icing.

Besides the sheer ridiculousness of this itself, I would have expected Americans to act like this but not Canadians.

[up]It's a matter of scale and habitat. Canadians bomb icebergs, Americans bomb the Moon.

Canada's just earned some badass cred in my book.

"We're Canada, we fucked up the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, eh."

That and I already like Canada. Canada and I share a love of hockey and beer. La Fin du Monde = godly. 'sides, I live in Michigan, which is pretty much Canada Jr.
