To be fair, I think Australia has fewer species of animals that aren't poisonous than otherwise, so they'll be fine. It will probably end up like one of those Australian beer commercials, where the iceberg hits and everybody runs up and grabs chunks to put in their coolers for their perpetual beach volleyball parties.

Just push it back. Duh.

It's a big ice cube.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Hahaha, oh wow.

You ever seen our wildlife? Kangaroos can gut you with one kick, as can emus. Funnel-web spiders will actually CHASE YOU and try to RIP AND TEAR your legs. Box jellyfish can kill in less than an hour. We have the most venomous snake in the world, the inland taipan. Even male platypuses (platypii?) are venomous!

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I think people are blowing this out of proportion after watching too many Kate Winslet films. Australia is a land mass, it cannot be sunk by an iceberg, no matter how large or stealthy it is.

I always thought the word 'Australia' was just an English corruption of A'tuin.

A'tuin doesn't like icebergs.

You Australians are full of gak.

I've been kicked by lots of kangaroos, and bitten by lots of funnel webs, and have had sex with lots of box jellyfish. None of them do anything, if they make me mad I just give The American Look and they run away in fear.

This iceberg 'calved' TEN years ago. TEN YEARS. Has it just been waiting in a ginormous esky until now?

If the climate was warming up that much, why is it not an ice-cube by now? Besides, it'll melt when it hits the warmer currents that run around WA.
