...Martians!!!

Yesiree Tomax, aliens for sure. The particles will be analysed by a sprectrometer and found to be of extra-terrestrial origin.
Some yeras ago I worked with an individual that, several years previous, had been on the crew examining Oak Island. They dropped several holes
to try and locate the treasure but of course came up dry. Several hundred feet down one of them, the
drill caughed up a child's plastic whistle. No earthly reason could be found as to how it got there.
There's lots of things of this world that remain a mystery.

I'd drop a line down there with a half and half hammered finish Williams Whitefish just to be sure.
GET THE GAFF!!!!!!!!

First of all Kate, a very Merry Christmas to you.

Second of all, what is that actually a picture of?

Thirdly, if NASA needs experienced field personel for tracking rubber ducks through currents, they need never look further than the city of Calgary.

I would hazard a guess that the plastic fragments are the remains of one of our ancestral founders, David Suzukis, personal weather predicting flux-o-meter that was finally proven to be faulty.

Just goes to show we really don't have a clue as to the real history of this Planet. All the dating methods are suspect. The theory of slow change by increments, has done much damage as well.
Our King lists are internally & compared to one another, contradict themselves completely. Yet all our pot dating & such relay on the timeline devised using both flawed documents.
We have maps showing an ice free Antarctic of unquestioned antiquity. The human race itself was almost wiped out as the lack of genetic variability shows in our very genes.
Maybe the Earth was different 12 thousand years ago. Than a disaster, a real environmental catastrophe happened where the human race was bottlenecked.
Christians & Jews call it the Flood. Any traces of a high civilization would have been sunk as the water raised in costal areas, than thousands of years of glacial grinding would wipe out most traces of any meta civilization.
When they found a glass Len’s at Crete, most archeologists denied it till recently (mainly because if they did they would have been laughed at). They where found 50 years ago. What is coming out of the Black sea is already re-writing history. The world is in for a lot of shocks this century. The flash frozen wildlife should have been a clue as to the violence of the last disaster that ended what we call the Pliocene era.

Thasn again it could be just a rubber duck lol

It always amazes me how so many people skim these posts without catching what should be obvious clues... lol.

""""It always amazes me how so many people skim these posts without catching what should be obvious clues... lol."""""

Noah had rubber ducks on thee ark?????

actually first thought was that "the scientist" have been screwing up on their ice-self info/dating :-))))

Someone should tell NASA that it may be several hundred thousand years before very many of their ducks start showing up, since we're heading into an ice age. Ducks don't float in solid ice.

It's probably a picture of "yellow snow" as in: Don't eat the yellow snow. If ya know what I mean! Anyhow, Merry Christmas to all.

ummmm... has anyone sent the link about the findings in the icecores to NASA?

In the immortal words of Ernie

"Rubber duckie you're the one
Rubber duckie you're so much fun"

I fear the rubber duckies have made the ultimate sacrifice.

ummmm... has anyone sent the link about the findings in the icecores to NASA?

Not for another 1200 years.

See--Erich von Däniken was right! The space aliens started life on Earth and warned us not to eat yellow snow.

X-files material. If they move their search over to Greenland they might find a couble of WWII bombers and about five P-38 lighnings, in the area where they found Glacier Girl, which was restored and is now flying again.

"over to Greenland" in above post should have read "another part of Greenland."

By the way anyone interested in Glacier Girl, can find the story here.
http://p38assn.org/glacier-girl.htm

would that be a "convoy" of Rubber Ducks lost in the ice, or is that the wrong song, or maybe the wrong holiday for this thread? Seems like April would be more in tune.

More seriously, if someone drops something buoyant (like, say, a rubber duck) down a hole through a glacier into the water at the bottom of the hole wouldn't one expect that thing to float on top of the water in the hole? Why would it dive under the surface to escape under the glacier to the ocean?

It might be my lateral thinking again, but I just don't understand.

I'm amazed the Caliphate is going to allow this sort of research. Very un-Islamic.

Realistikly speaking, look at the Lufkin measuring tape! It's only 4 inches below the surface! That's last summer's water! Could be the cap of a plastic pop bottle!

I think this idea came from a Europian method of predicting avalanches, or crevasses, or something like that. It might have something to do with climbing safety. Anyway, there's no really accurate way to predict what's going on under all that ice.

Realistik; uh, that's at the BOTTOM of the ice core. The rest of the core is extending out of the pic.

I had absolutely no idea Walmart has been around that long.

This place “http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap081222.html” is nothing but ice with, what the wise guys tell, oceans of wet water under there.
You can clearly see the tracks that these creatures make to take off come to Greenland to plant plastics to confuse other wise guys.

I thought I'd save Libs and Dippers the work and say that personally, I think it was placed there by Harper and/or his Con knuckledragging redneck followers.

Is there no end to what leftoids can blame on Conservatives? :-))

Merry Christmas to All and the Best in 09!

First of all, I would like to each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God has blessed us all and for that we should be thankful.

Secondly, good on ya Kate although me thinks you are 96 days early with this post. It did make me look twice. Nice bit of sarcasm directed at Dr. "super" Dave and Big Al.

From the link:
"We haven't heard anything from them yet,"

Puts a whole new spin on scientific quackery.

Greenlandistan...is that the New Kingdom for Suzuki when all the ice melts?

NEWSFLASH*****************

Researchers find plastic in 1200 year old ice core.... Has Atlantis been found?

Merry Christmas!

Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson wrote "Forbidden Archeology". It sort of represents low key, intelligent dissent in the archeological community.

It locates at least 100,000 items in the back rooms of museums around the world that are simply inexplicable by our current model of history and technological development.

Cremo uses the Vedic model as a backdrop for his consideration. It is the world's oldest tradition and asserts 6 different creations of the universe prior to our own.

The Vedas discuss space travel along with interplanetary contact in some previous era.

Some archeological thinkers feel that it would need 2 million to 10 million years to have the development that has taken place in 5,000 years.

It's an intersting book, and it is not part of the lunatic fringe. In any event, there are enigmatic and inexplicable discoveries that actually do exist in our museums that utterly defy an explanation.

Greg in Dallas,

I believe these items that don't fit with the current historical explanation are called 'oomparts' and as you've noted, there are a lot of them.

As much as these items are being ignored, there are some discoveries that can't be.

Boston University Geologist, Robert Schock, has proven, due to rain erosion, that the Great Sphinx was originally built prior to 7000 B.C.

The Egyptologists are in a dither. It seems their 'soft' science is unravelling. And it's about time.

The ruins and lake at Tiuhuanaco, high in the Andes, are even more strange. So are the ancient copper mines at Lake Superior.

'Looks like the NASA scientist aren't as smart as they think.

'Wouldn't be the first time ...

"So are the ancient copper mines at Lake Superior."

Actually, after nearly 5 decades of occasional personal association with those ancient mines, the present explanations are rather reasonable. Their age is directly related to the ice retreat at the end of the Pleistocene.

Archaeological digs by the USFS in 1997 and 1998 filled in some additional data that supports present theories, and my personal observations. The exact location of those digs confirmed, for me, a long-held personal belief regarding time and location of ancient mine groupings and the location of "staging areas" for the ancient mining operations.

As an aside note: I agree with Kate. I am surprised how a few seemed to initially miss the *obvious* in the OP.

DaninVan: HahahaHA!!!

Is there no end ? The Hippy Generation will go down in history as the Dumbest ever.

Buy a bunch of Rubber Duckies. Throw them down the drill holes. Hope someone will find them in some exotic place (a la note in a bottle).

And, therefore, prove that global warming is happening and man must be taxed into submission and the Hippy flunkies will have an income.

Greenlandistan...is that the New Kingdom for Suzuki when all the ice melts?

Why wait for the ice to melt? I vote we send him now on condition that he never comes back!

Sadly, there is a lot of plastic junk floating around out there:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

I'm sure that there is a lot of cost-cutting achieved by dumping waste in the sea (Victoria, Halifax, from waste barges, etc) - then it's out of sight, out of mind.

Doubt it's from the ducks, as they were likely one part molded plastic.

Unless it's from Daffy - ("Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" 1953 . . . . . . )

"Also missing is a football-sized floating robotic probe equipped with a GPS positioning transmitter and powered by hi-tech batteries. It has failed to communicate its position. "We did not hear a signal back, so it probably got stuck under the ice somewhere," said Behar. "

Hummmmm.I though whether siting still,noving at 30 kts,or zooming along at warp 6,A GPS STILL gives a signal of its position if the batteries are working!!Oh wait...
And how has NASA figurered out how to stuff a football object down a hole a rubber duckie can't navigate??

KM ran a core in her backyard and found a chew toy...

Its nice to see that the ID'ers and creationist's decided to come flooding out of the woodwork only to discredit their own theories by supporting Kates post and stating that it furthers their own outlandish ideas...since she is actually predicting a story in the future regarding NASA's lost rubber duckies.
