          Is that not "Shopped" thinking that the other nine tenths are underwater it would have grounded long before arrival at the coast, along with no one gathered on the headland to view this spectacular site

          What a shame someone couldn't tow that berg down to Africa to help all those people desperate for water,although i expect it would be melted down to an ice cube size by the time it got down there:D

          You cynic, Jack! :heehee: Actually, according to my Danish friend, the banks of fjords are almost vertical. No beaches there! So I would imagine it's much the same in NFL.
