Dear Milum: I took another look at the figures you give, and they don't seem to account for Glacier Girl being down two hundred and fifty feet in only fifty years.

Dear Keiva, belMarduk and wwh:
Keiva
Yes, your example is more palatable. The book offered this serving...think of the ice as a thick pancake batter that you are pouring on a griddle. Now drop a blueberry on top of the batter...
wwh
Yes, I thought the same thing. But the example of a six-foot annual accumulation rate given by the book was poorly stated. In other words it was indeterminable as to whether it was Glacier Girl specific. I would think that a reasonable snow accumulation in places in Greenland could easily be double that.
belMarduk
Yes bel, I wondered about that myself. Caves are voids within limestone under great pressures but not enough to make the rock plastic. I bet that if the airplane was air filled (no pun) it would have a better chance of exiting intact than it would if it was filled with ice.
Stales
Whew...stales where are you?

see it bel - it's funny, ironic, and a feast of visual style. It may strike some as slightly sacharine in its overall comic fairy-story plotting, but it is *definitely worth seeing, and particularly on the big screen in company. It is surely bound to pick up the Oscar® for Ferrin Luggage movies this year - and we ought to all support a movie that does not further cement the world hegemoney (sic) of the accent-free state

Dear Max:Why should I trash my own thread when CK does it so thoroughly? Dog apparently had not other name. Read all about it at: http://www.oneil.com.au/footrot/ch_pongo.shtml

Hey, don't knock it, Bill. "Pingo" didn't have much mileage anyway. This way your monicker lives on at the top of Q & A for quite a lot longer, mate, and you get to whinge at me into the bargain. Fair do's, I'd say. Enjoy!The Grey Ghost

Dear Max: Far be it from me to demean Kiwi culture. Or even suggest that Footrot Fungus is epizoötic, or even merely epidemic there. However, not all AWADians are blessed with your intellectual advantages.
