    Lithuanian geologist Professor Loof Lirpa from Klaipėda...

    So offshore oil exploration can cause enough seismic activity to make a new island rise out of the sea, but they want us to believe that fracking is totally safe?

    Hadn't occurred to me, and isn't posting it a day early kind of cheating?

    I wish it was the Venezuela story that was the April fool.

    What are you doing posting at 4am anyway? Insomnia?

    Lol, I like the hotheaded ice borers. It would be cool if they were real, although not very nice for the penguins.

    Like Surtsey then. My Grandfather and the rest of his crew heard it when it broke the surface during the night. (seriously) Happy 1st April.

    Anyone got any dynamite? I want to frack myself a nice little island kingdom to call home in the middle of my neighbours fish pond. I'll nominate DemonTree as the new president for his strong intellect as demonstrated here.

    Psssst... Mr Lorton...
    Pls. remember that, officially...
    This site ain't called 《“Penguin News”》...
    It's called...”《MercoPress》... an independent news agency started in 1993 which focuses on delivering news related to the Mercosur trade and political bloc, and member countries, covering an area of influence which includes South America, the South Atlantic and insular territories.... etc..., etc,..., etc...”

    Capisce...?

    The new island is clearly Argentine soil and an expeditionary force must be dispatched at once to occupy it - The Island should be named 'Isla Cristina' so as not to confuse the residents of Puerto Argentina.
