Posted August 13, 200718 yr comment_8302 Scores of icebergs have floated to within about 300 km (186 miles) of New Zealand, with the largest measuring about 1.8 km (1.1 miles) in length and standing some 120 meters (360 feet) above water. National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research oceanographer Mike Williams said on Wednesday the icebergs were likely part of a larger piece of ice which broke off the Ronne Ice Shelf, located southeast of the Falkland Islands, six years ago. The original iceberg, named A-43, was 167 km (104 miles) long 32 km (20 miles) wide. Williams said about 100 icebergs, first detected by New Zealand's air force on Friday, had drifted eastward, south of Africa and Australia, in the dominant Antarctic Circumpolar Current. "It's a natural but a rare phenomenon. It requires a lot of rare occurrences to happen simultaneously," he said. http://www.foundrymusic.com/opieanthony/di...mber_15661.html

I am dumb, so I always forget which countries speak which things, but Nicole and Emma speak English and I am pretty sure it's the main language there.

August 21, 200718 yr comment_8352 She said that was a news story a long time ago and that it happened at the opposite end of the country from where she is. Did you multi quote? Just being sure because if you had just hit the normal reply button it would have had all of those quotes and had them nexted. I am being sure whether thatw as a bug or if you intentionally selected them all separately.
