The finding is important because of the enormous scale and potential impact the Antarctic ice sheets could have on sea-level rise if they shift rapidly, says [a co-author of the study, Chris] Fogwill. "To get a sense of the scale, the Antarctic ice sheet is 3km deep -- three times the height of the Blue Mountains in many areas—and it extends across an area that is equivalent to the distance between Perth and Sydney.
A woman in York City, Penn. found some unpleasant, albeit hilarious, graffiti stenciled all over her SUV, including the word "bicth," as in the non-idiot word "bitch," in white paint on the the driver's side door. [...] You'd think that the group might have appointed a copyeditor to give all acts a vandalism a quick once-over, but it seems that nocturnal tagging is a really sloppy industry, not at all like its print-media predecessor, mustache-drawing on movie posters.
