Hmmm, the NSDW is quite slow these days, is he not? Maybe he needs an upgrade? Wih a fire axe? smiley - whistle

Hmmm, maybe not smiley - biggrin

The NSDW also provides an Ice Sheet summary from some science group
Average sea ice extent for February 2013 was 14.66 million square kilometers (5.66 million square miles). This is almost a million sq kms below the 1979 to 2000 average for the month, and is the seventh-lowest February extent in the satellite record. Since 2004, the February average extent has remained below 15 million square kilometers (5.79 million square miles) every year except 2008. Prior to 2004, February average extent had never been less than 15 million square kilometers. Ice extent remains slightly below average everywhere except the Bering Sea. smiley - headhurts

Before we go to Tromsø we should pay a visit to the remains of the "Tirpitz", sister ship of the famous "Bismarck", if there are any to be found that is

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. Those are our orders received from MI42

So, another question for the great answer.
The answer is 42
the question: Who does Pierce the Pirate take orders from?

I take orders from that big contradiction in terms called MI (=Military Intelligence) #42

Mind you, I usually only take those orders as suggestions. Any orders that lack sense should be treated that way smiley - zen

yeah, the US Military Intelligence is often a contradiction in terms also.
We also have secret Government projects sorting through our international e-mail looking for key phrases. I suppose this conversation may trigger some guy in a back room somewhere to read what we are saying. I say let him- this smiley - pirate has nothing to hide.
