As for blowing up the iceberg, I just think it’s best to let nature take its course for things like this.

I didn’t advocate blowing the whole thing up. Just accelerating the inevital breakup with a few well placed explosives. Of course, figuring out the right places to put them would be a challenge, to say the least. And then getting them to those spots would also be difficult.

More recent space photos are indicating that the berg is indeed coming apart.

YOU want to complain! Look at these shoes. I’ve only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through. If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother. Oh my back hurts, it’s not a very fine day and I’m sick and tired of this office.
