Does anyone know about an iceberg which is supposedly close to New Zulland?
Apparently there are two with the closest about 80km off the south coast.

Hmm, I wonder if they might sink New Zulland if hey bump into it? I wonder if anyone will notice?? ( Running and hiding from Hakaists!)
Well, worst case there's plenty over here we could send back home to replace them (running off to join Stoppers)
what about global warming :confused:
Grunt !!!:eek:
No worries "Dick Smith" is going to tow it into Sydney harbour to assist in solving the Sydney drinking water problems.;)
Some enterprising brewer should hack them up for a special commemorative beer https://www.ubeaut.biz/cheers.gif made with the purest water in the world. https://www.ubeaut.biz/drunk2.gif
I wonder how it would go on ebay. No delivery, pick up only. :D
Probably not, but the Cook Strait Ferry ride could become a doozy!Quote:

One of the reporters landed on this one in a chopper and filmed some footage that was on TV tonight. You could see it from the hills around Dunedin today.

Looks pretty big to me. I remember hearing/reading somewhere that what you see above the water is only about 10% of the thing. Dunno whether that's right or not but that's one big block of ice.Quote:

People say they are visible from the top of Signal Hill here in Dunedin - not today though - raining.... How can it be global warming if there is an iceberg off Dunedin? Get a grip! Must be global freezing. If NZ sinks, will someone please try and retrieve my saw, buzzer, planes... offcuts... Oh - yeah, build a boat... right... sail to OZ - snakes.... urgghhhh......
Careful Muzz, I hear that iceburg is crawling with sea snakes?
Nah... that is a filthy rumour to stop people settling on them. Dey's pristine apparently. Made of rain that fell at the beginning of time or something. No snakes hiding in the sawdust there.Quote:

Errrr. Really. Bugger. Better fill the car up then before the gas runs out... You got that fleet oiler of yours all gassed up?Quote:

Actually, its probably Stewart Island, taken over by Bluff Oysters preparing to reek havoc on Invercargill. The only thing between them and humanity is a disciplined band of Bikies. (Bluff itself froze long ago.)Quote:
