Antarctica scientist stabbed colleague in the chest at remote Antarctica station

Nice! Thanks for the pin

Them ruskies surely take books seriously

cabin fever I suspect...

Almost understandable...

Oleg should have kept his big mouth shut.

Nations are quietly – and sometimes not so quietly – preparing to stake their rights as the owners of swathes of the nearly uninhabitable land.

"Lots of people just don't understand that there's a darker side to Antarctica," says Klaus Dodds, professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway University of London. "What we're seeing is great power politics play out in a space that a lot of people think of as just frozen wastes."

Seven nations laid overlapping claims on Antarctic land when the treaty was adopted in 1959: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the UK. The treaty held all these claims in place and prohibited any new ones from being established. The treaty also puts any expansions to territorial claims to Antarctica on hold – officially.

So how are other nations not included in the treaty able to plant their flags there?

Next time could you not give away the ending?

Wouldn't you without the hours and hours of porn folks seem to be needing?

Also, DO NOT cheat on them when playing chess.
It's bad enough when you win legit but if you cheat, all bets are off.

Wonder if there was Vodka involved ?

:bringthemin:

I understand it completely.

Yes, sciency people DO think about colleaguecide...we just usually refrain from actually doing it....

"Let the wookie win"

Lovers quarrel?

In a completely isolated part of the world.

Only the ISS beats it.

So a totally understandable response.

I blame Dostoevsky.

Seriously. That would have pissed me off, too.

I won't even mention John Carpenter.

"..giving away the endings of books."

Strange things happen in Antarctica.
