Don't most icebergs drift south, and eventually melt?

According to this Mad Bomber they do drift south and melt a bit, but then swing back north and freeze...the core of an iceberg can be centuries old

I am glad that someone is looking for this iceberg - it is critical that it is found.

I wonder if this development will affect this project...

LOS ANGELES—Director James Cameron told Variety yesterday of his intentions to write and direct the Academy Award–winning Titanic's companion film, Iceberg, which will be told completely from the infamous chunk of frozen water's point of view.

Please be fake. That Dr. Henry Poole sounded way too fictitious. The government actually spent money on this project? Pretty unbelievable if you ask me.

Yeah considering there's no mention of this on any sort of reputable news site, I'm pretty sure this is satire...

chop it into ice cubes and sell it as ice for scotch at $1000.00 per pound. People will pay that.

You can tell how many people never actually click the link to a story.

The tag line on the blog page this is posted at says, "This is That. We make (up) the news!"

BS. If you have not seen Titanic by now you either have been living on Mars or never had any intention of seeing it.

Ummm the iceberg didn't kill Leo. The Atlantic Ocean and Kate Winslet did.

and what would AMC do for programming if the Titanic never sunk. They have been playing twice a nite for 3 weekends in a row now.

Pretty sure he was joking.

As for the iceberg, wherever it may be, I'm sure global warming will get it, so revenge will be done.
