I like SEB even if he's a big softie.

England's out of the World Cup. Why isn't this thread just full of people breaking down into tears and wondering what's the point of living in this barren post-apocalyptic emotional desert?


(Well, from the English people.)

Seriously though I never cared.
And a lot of people didn't delude themselves into thinking England had a chance.

The problem is they should have a chance.

Nasa's Cassini probe took image last year as it passed by planet's largest moon – nothing seen when other images taken

Oh noes man. They took a picture during a low tide? Who'd have guess they'd see more rocks. Well maybe not so much a low tide as a low water level. It does appear to be a puddle.

That or a floating iceberg of methane. That would be my guess. Still hoping for flying whales filled with hydrogen though.

[SM]

I thought that - but Saturn is currently moving away from the sun, meaning the methane isn't likely to have evaporated to reveal more land.  Not that I know shit about the properties of methane.

[SiL]

It's a lake, and from looking at the rest of the shoreline it doesn't look like the water level (so to speak) has dropped enough to reveal a twelve mile island.

[SM]

Depends how far it was 'underwater' before.  There seems be more land in general in the lower photo.
