As... probably none... of you know, i live in Argentina, here in argentina we got something a lot of people is really proud of, and i dont really get why, but o well.

it`s name is Glacier "Perito Moreno", you all know what a glacier is, rite?

Here`s a list of stats a glacier has:

* its about 1 million years old
* composed mostly on frozen water (A.K.A. Ice) and in less proportion, Frozen dumbasses (A.K.A. People who fell into the ice)
* it moves about 1 metter over 100 years or something like that
* People go chop a piece of the ice and put it in their drinks and then brag about how they drank a wiskey on the rocks with an 1 million years old piece of ice (they dont mention that during that million years it was exposed to the wind, dirt, and probably bird crap, and it`s probably as healty as goin to the beach and eating a handfull of sand and then claim you eated a 4.600.000.000 years old piece of mother earth)
* Diference with the ice you find on your refrigerator`s freezer: bigger... that and the bird crap.

now, why do i made this topic?

well, every 2 or 4 years a piece of the glacier breaks and falls into the lake below it, causing a huge noise and a big splash, so people from all over the country spend a lot of money to travel there and freeze their asses of for weeks waiting for that to happen.

about a month ago, it happened, and more than 1000 people got around the glacier waiting for it to break and splash them with it`s icy cold water. they waited there for almost 2 weeks, goin ooo everytime a piece of ice the size of the head they had up their asses fell of. but the huge splash they where waiting for didnt show up, ntil it was the time.
what time you say? 4:15 in the morning and noone saw shit, almost everyone was sleeping and those awake didnt saw anything cause it was dark as hell.

and that my friends is how a 1.000.000 years old giant piece of ice PWNED abour 1000 morons after they spend all their savings to go there to get PWNED.

when i was a kid my hero was Goku, now, it`s the glacier Perito Moreno.

Man thats great! i never knew people went to just go see ice fall off a bigger piece of ice. Not my kinda thing.. but whatever floats their boat or sinks their iceburg.

That's a pretty funny event. It sounds pretty ridiculous to me, but I suppose a story that makes me sound equally as absurd can be written up about my anime/computer gaming habits. But c'mon now, that sounds like watching and waiting for grass to grow.

Thats freeking funny. its amazing what people will pay to see sometimes. why would you want to watch a big bit of ice fall. i mean if you were there and it happen then that would be cool but to sit around waiting...its like trainspotting but much slower. more exspensive and never on time.

Thats one way to waste/spend your time. I do hope someone sat there going @is it...no it's not' just to wind them all up.
People will do anything to be refreashed.

Who would spend money to see that? (or i guess, not see it)

They sat around for 2 weeks to watch a big chunk of ice fall off a bigger chunk of ice and go SPLOOSH?

If they wanted to see something go SPLOOSH so bad one of them should have jumped into the water.

Well, Argentina has better things than that tourism scam. I would go there to drink "mate".

I always thought that a glacier would move faster, but maybe there are certain people who likes their asses frozen. They desperately have to get laid, and quickly before falling into that scam or some other.

Saludos desde Colombia. Acá no nos congelamos, pero igual hay gente así de tonta acá y en toda sudamerica

They say idiocy has no cure...but this is damn funny.

Still doesn't beat tornado-hunting, though. ;)

Nothing beats standing by the beach and filming a tsunami that is just a few hundred meters in front of you. Sheer stupidity...

Anyway, I just love your play with words (especially the bird crap part). Totally makes this a truly amusing (not to mention interesting) read.

And how your new hero is the glacier is total ROFFLES!

This is freaking funny (love the parts about the bird crap, it had me cracking up).
why the hell would people go to see ice fall anyway, thats the worse way to waste time.

I remember when i went to Alaska people were all watching glacier diligently, looking for bits falling.
I also remember after about 10 minutes going inside the boat and playing gameboy for almost the entire rest of the ride, looking up only when my dad said "hey, there's one that doesn't suck"
watching ice isn't for me :p
