http://gizmodo.com/5935085/this-drill-will-expose-an-antarctic-lake-buried-for-500000-years?comment=52012814

They're going to drill thru some ice in the Antarctic to a lake that's been covered/buried for 500,000 years. It's a pretty big lake, too.

Will be really interesting to see what they find and what's evolved there. They've been finding extraordinary organisms all over the world in extreme environments previously thought to be unable to sustain life.

I'm more interested in hearing how whatever we discover there was put there by God and God alone. No proof of course, but God did it and its in the Bible.

It was all put here by aliens. Aliens created God, as well.

What are you going to do if they find Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, the Garden of Eden and Moses' corpse?

Not going to happen. Might as well ask me what if they find an invisible unicorn down there who wants to have buttsex.

In which case you will be the first one bending over to take that unicorn dick.

When I hate something I obsess over it constantly too.

What if they find mermaids? But you know those biatches would be cold as ice.

You have to love sleeper, some how manage to turn anything scientifically interesting into a bash fest on anyone who believes in a supreme being.

I read the whole article and I'm pretty sure unless they find something like the Arc of the Covenant or a book written by and signed by Matthew/Mark/Luke/John that what they wrote was a hoax, there is nothing they will find down there that will prove or disprove God exists.

I find the expedition extremely interesting and will be waiting to see what they find.

Haha, never thought of it that way.

Still just kind of blows my mind that there's this huge lake that's been completely encased in ice for 500,000 years. Although I'm not entirely sure how they can be certain of that.
