Why didn't they just freeze it on deck, cut it open then throw them the chunk of iced milk? Not like they had no means of freezing a can of condensed milk and I KNOW they had time. You'd think a crew of engineers would have a little more ingenuity.

I'm sure that feeding them a can that will get chewed into sharp chunks of metal is a great way to help an endangered species.

Thank you very much for posting this.<BR/><BR/><BR/>There has been some global warming, just as there has been global cooling in the past and the cycles have continued since there has been an earth. <BR/><BR/>The new thing is the effort to blame any slight uptick trend on humans and the motivation is political, economic, and sociological because even if we were 100% to blame the situation could not be stopped, let alone reversed, without less than the entire world human population reverting to hunting/gathering and eschewing fire to cook the game--for hundreds of years. We might then see a tiny change of no significance.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It's the sun, stupid. <BR/><BR/>It's also global elites manipulating the masses to achieve goals that failed by other means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-31591197692948106322008-04-01T19:37:00.000-07:002008-04-01T19:37:00.000-07:00What a bunch of jerks for feeding the bears condensed milk in a can.

I agree with Mr Anonymous...this was the coldest Winter in 80 years for the entire globe. Maybe you should quit buying the party line and start doing some research. Back in the 1970's we were headed into a new ice age...everyone freaked out like you are now.
