This iceberg used to be the size of Jamaica. Now it is merely the size of Long Island or Luxembourg. It stopped moving when it got stuck on a sand bar, but now the roving 115 kilometer ice cube ran into part of a glacier and tore off a 5 kilometer chuck of an "ice tongue."

Maps of the continent will, they say, have to be re-drawn. The huge chunk of ice has played merry hell with the normal ocean currents, stopping much of the sea ice from breaking up during the Antarctic summer.

Anyone have any idea what the insurance deductible to a continent is?

In other news this Romanian woman had an interesting idea on stealing a cell phone. She swiped it from a diner and...umm...stuffed it into her vagina. Police quizzed the 34-year-old without success and were about to let her go when some bright spark suggested they call the mobe. "On dialing the number they heard a sound coming from under Gardian's clothes and took her to police headquarters to be strip-searched," the report continues. You know the rest. Suffice it to say that a shaken officer Aurel Popescu commented: "I've seen a lot in my time as a policeman but never anything like this."

For her sake I'm hoping the phone was one of those small slimline models. Last time I checked that space wasn't particularly roomy and spacious. The owner of the phone refused to take it back and will claim it as an insurance loss.
