Photos: Ice Shelf Collapse

At first I thought it was the Willikins Ice Shelf, but the Willikins Ice Shelf would not collapse because Willikins is hard-core.




Yes, I mostly posted this just to make that comment.

All we need now is the ozone leaving us going FU! Or a meteor becoming crashed into us...ok, bad joke.

But seriously...Willikins? Is this something I'm gonna have to Google again and hope I get the right one?

Sorry, Discworld reference. Thud specifically.

Oh for crying out..!*headdesk* That book is right in front of me. I'm a lousy geek.

No real surprise that lots of ice is breaking off Antarctica. Ice levels there are at an all-time high.

AAAAAH can't I just make a shallow silly geek reference once in a while??

There there. *pat pat* I'm sure the misunderstanding and "seriousness" of the situation shall pass in time.

Question on a theory. Was Willikins an Assasins Guild wannabe but just didn't hold the suavity? It's been prickling my braincells for some time now. He's just sometimes a little TOO good.

I get the impression he didn't have the 'breeding' -- he was a member of a street gang and started at the Ramkin household as the scullery boy so he was definitely lower class. The Assassins Guild takes the occasional scholarship boy but would they look that low? Or would he even have had the opportunity to apply? Perhaps the Ramkins sent their curiously competent scullery boy to the Guild in exchange for his future services as butler-cum-bodyguard. A mystery! That had never even occurred to me before, thanks for something to chew on.

Completely Off The Subject, But...
