ANOTHER LAKE STOLEN

Lake bandits last observed in Russia may have struck again:

A five-acre glacial lake in Chile’s southern Andes has disappeared - and scientists want to know why …

“The lake had simply disappeared,” Juan Jose Romero, head of Chile’s National Forest Service in the southernmost region of Magallanes, said Wednesday. “No one knows what happened.”

It’ll probably turn up on eBay. Whoever buys this will need something to set it in.

  1. I have a theory that Sumerian Mead is brewed with ancient lake water.

  10. Lake George on the way from Sydney to Canberra is exactly the same.

    It comes and goes as it pleases and is much bigger than the five-acre Chilean lake.

    Dose this mean all NOBS will be taken away two by two?

  15. #14 - looks like globalism writ large, although I am sure the pet and people collars & gay tourism are probably related.  (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

  16. Thanks Wron.
    Reckon you can deliver some to Brisbane’s water catchments? Or did you leave it all in Sydney’s?

    *reminder: send memo to boss about mis-delivered water.

  18. Erm…

    I was going to announce that we had (heh) umm…  received, yep, received a massive shipment of gin, brandy and whiskey for this month’s VRWC happy day. Just delivered by Haifa Shipping Co’s freighter ‘Yom Kippur’. Nothing to do with payola for organising that little contretemps in Gaza at all, OK, we got paid CASH for that deal.

    <Hey the happy day was Karl’s idea, leftards have happy hours, we do 24 times better than that as in everything>

    Wron was fixing the water and ice. Last I saw of him he was muttering about using some of the spare quinine to make tonic water, too.

    But I am really, really sure that he had nothing to do with borrowing that lake. Last I heard he was talking about Greenland. The ice from underneath that icecap makes delightful popping sounds as it melts.

    Who knew? PACO Industries owns many things, I don’t expect Paco even knows the full details of his holdings.

    Explains the leather chaps and riding crop factory, though…

  36. RebeccaH, the lake has turned up here at my house. Bugger Chile, those people can’t blame Wronwright. He was home in bed having a good sleep at the time. So I’m told.

  39. #38: Overpriced?!? Well!! Paco Jet’s profit margin is a lot lower that it would normally be because it’s an environmentally-friendly company: for every dollar we take in, we donate ten cents toward the purchase of Beano for Swiss cows.

    Geez, Ash! Infidel Tiger should not have been confused at all.

    I mean, this is EXCITING! Those blondes are the very first of a new range of products from the new Perfectly Adorable Cloned Organics line. Of course we accept returns, as they can easily be reprogrammed, and we charge extra to the next customer for their learned experiences.

    We do not sell them to muslims, though.

    The Charles Atlas line will be ready soon for the delectation of the ladies (Andrea insisted).

    The Michael Moore line is also cranking up (we program them with a copy of his actual ‘mind’, various militaries are falling over themselves to buy Moore’s in lots of a thousand. They seriously hone the marksmanship skills of well, EVERYONE. They are more popular than even the Osama line.

    Hey Paco, which one of those girls is Sheila?

    #22
    The couple that fell off the pyramidal shaped roof while getting it on?  They’re Darwin Award nominees.  Think of it as evolution in action.

    #25 Mehaul,
    With The International Neocon Conspiracy (TM) around, there are no coincidences.  Karl and the rest of us make sure of that.

    #43 Mark,
    Now that’s innovative marketing.

    Wronwright has got to get over this fixation on lakes.  Next thing you know Lake Maricaibo or the Baltic Sea are liable to disappear.

  46. #43 Michael: The girl on the banner ain’t a bad approximation, although I’ve always kinda seen Sheila as being a bit like this; maybe more of a cross between Ann Sheridan (huge, languorous eyes, with a gleam of cynicism - the girl in the link) and Jane Randolph (thick blonde hair and open, friendly face; sorry, no link).
