the icecube observatory is such a wild idea

and no that's not an observatory that observes ice cubes, it's an observatory that _is_ an ice cube

@Felthry

I would be down with either... just need to know how big to make the drink glass.

@JulieSqveakaroo well the observatory itself is one cubic kilometer

@Felthry

Hmm... ok, I can work with that... but where the heck am I gonna get that much bourbon...

@JulieSqveakaroo also they haven't bothered to separate it from the ice around it afawk, it's just a chunk of the antarctic ice sheet

@JulieSqveakaroo yes, it's one cubic kilometer of antarctic ice with sensors stuck in it

@Felthry

Look, that's fine, but I can't make a hi-ball out of an iceberg!!

@Felthry

We are rapidly moving into alcoholic smoothie territory...

@JulieSqveakaroo Oh, I tend to avoid alcohol whenever possible, so let's turn the other way
