Grid girls they say are hot. I've never seen them in action. Ice shelves they say are icy cold. Such oxy-moron statements. Hot sex with hot grid girls will melt the ice - that's the truth of the century. Why don't the morons doing the Merdeka Endurance Race take this simple truth instead of going round and round like goldfish in a fish tank, burning fuel for 12 hours and contributing to a warmer Earth causing ice shelves to melt.

A huge chunk of ice shelf, more than 60 sq. km has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic, another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the polar frontier, scientists said Wednesday.
The 4,500-year-old Markham Ice Shelf separated in early August and the 19-square-mile shelf is now adrift in the Arctic Ocean. This comes on the heels of unusual cracks in a northern Greenland glacier, rapid melting of a southern Greenland glacier, and a near record loss for Arctic sea ice this summer. And March this year a 160-square mile chunk of an Antarctic ice shelf disintegrated.
The loss of these ice shelves means that rare ecosystems that depend on them are on the brink of extinction, said Warwick Vincent, director of Laval University's Centre for Northern Studies and a researcher in the program ArcticNet.
It is the burning of oil and other fossil fuels that scientists say is the chief cause of manmade warming and melting ice.
We know it's you and me are the culprits.
