This is pretty darn strange. I thought the heat of the earth's mantle cooked most water out of rocks after a certain depth. Seems I was wrong. There's a huge reservoir of water under Asia, so when the water wars begin, we must invade Mongolia post-haste!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Not really an ocean, just watered-down rock?
Still, seismic analysis indicates there's quite a lot of water down there. Moreover, it is not part of the crust, but quite a bit deeper -- where it has always been assumed that it has been cooked out.
We learn new things every day.
However, you can still rest assured that human agency as the primary source of global warming is a demonstrated fact. Other scientific evaluations of climate are obviously wrong.

Yes, every day we are stunned by something we didn't know before or something we thought was so that wasn't after all. Still, seismic analysis indicates there's quite a lot of water down there.

Thus my siggy thingy…though, it never seems to make an impact on the brain-dead.
There must be water deeper than 100km down. I was under the impression it was the presence of water which allowed plate tectonics to function (lubricant). Hence why Venus doesn't have active plate movement (no water).

Hay GB! I was thinking the whole thing smacked of the Sumerian tales in another way…where the Earth was the remains of Tiamat… There is some very weird stuff there and when it is true it only seems weirder.I was actually just researching this as this article came up.

There's something about Asia.This is pretty darn strange. I thought the heat of the earth's mantle cooked most water out of rocks after a certain depth. Seems I was wrong. There's a huge reservoir of water under Asia, so when the water wars begin, we must invade Mongolia post-haste!
so, Jules Verne was right all along. interesting, very interesting. Mongolia is the best Asian country for me. Once you cross off all the countries who have either attacked the U.S., hate Christians, or hate white people, Mongolia is all that's left.
What about India? And Japan has been pretty friendly since WWII. I'm sure there's some others...
Oh, and should water wars erupt, I'm taking over the Fraser river. Apply now to be minions with your own domains!

No, it's the high temperature and pressure that distorts the layer of rock below the plates. They aren't floating.There must be water deeper than 100km down.

I didn't think they were floating, just sort of lubricated a bit.No, it's the high temperature and pressure that distorts the layer of rock below the plates. They aren't floating.

Meh, dangers of TV documentaries.
Am I the only person who sees this as proof that Aldous Huxley was right about psychadelic drugs?
Well, probably I am. But hear me out. There's evidence, and not like that made up "evolution" type either.
As well all, know, Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote Xanadu after waking up from an opium dream. And as you remember if you were paying attention in English, the opening verse of Xanadu reads:
So, how did Coleridge know of the existence of this sea hundreds of years before modern science?
Only one possible answer my friends, the drugs DO work.

And now Lemur announces the discovery of a vast sea (with a bit of rock in it) under Mongolia, JUST where Coleridge said it would be. Coincidence? I think NOT.In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

Well spotted that man, obviously the assassin's attention had wandered at that precise moment in class, but I AM right about the drugs.
Actually there is a stream of consciousness the runs from Coleridge to Getty Lee to the Lemur and the Assassin it appears.
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea." -Coleridge
"To seek the sacred river alph
To walk the caves of ice..."
"I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book. I took a clue -Rush
However, we learn the dangers of seeking after that which we ought not:
"Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean...
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise." -Coleridge
"Nevermore shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honey dew
And drunk the milk of paradise" -Rush
The sunless Ocean of the Khan is not for mere mortals.

Tsk, it's teh Americans starting wars for scarce water recources when they actually have plenty of their own.There's a huge reservoir of water under Asia, so when the water wars begin, we must invade Mongolia post-haste!
Not only middle-Asia, but also Texas and Alaska have huge reservoirs of underland water reserves. If only Americans would cut down the use of their water-guzzling, oversized bathroom and kitchen appliances they'd be far less dependent on foreign imports.

Actually, if only those stupid Greenpeace environmental groups would let us! If it wasn't for them and over seas jobs, then America could be completely self sufficient. Ex.-oil from alaska and texas. but no says the environmental groups, and the Democrats dont like it either. If you want unemployement percentage to go down, let us (the intelligent people) use the resources our country can provide.Originally posted by luigi IV di Fatlington

Well that makes sense. Rock that can hold oil can hold water. Tsk, it's teh Americans starting wars for scarce water recources when they actually have plenty of their own.

*wonders if there's oil under asia*

What about Ukraine, Australia, Thailand, etc.?Once you cross off all the countries who have either attacked the U.S., hate Christians, or hate white people, Mongolia is all that's left.
I was referring to the previous sentence,, which says Mongolia would be the best Asian country. then i said once you cross off the ones that blah blah blah, only Mongolia woud be left. I meant out of the Asian coutries.

Look out for shoggoths.
NUKE THEM!
I really think that if the water began steaming due to internal heat, then the ground would sink as the rocks were slowly dropped. It's like the world would be ending.

That leaves the rest of Asia or about 1/3 of the worlds population.
Taiwan has no issues with Christians (the Green party... which is the main contender to KMT... has a large Christian faction). They don't hate white people, in fact for some girls there a white guy is like have an YSL or other high end label fashion bag... pure status symbol.
Singapore, same as anywhere else.
Indonesia, a muslim country which doesn't have issues with Christians (one of the major mosques was designed by a Christian) or white people (except those who don't make an effort to learn the local language, not sure when the French snuck in to teach them that attitude
)etc etc etc.

Wow, wait up, there's more. As well as the Rush connection, I've just remembered that Iron Maiden covered (if that is quite the right word) the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.Actually there is a stream of consciousness the runs from Coleridge to Getty Lee to the Lemur and the Assassin it appears.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Lord Byron. Does Coleridge rock OR WHAT?
Can anyone think of a poet who can top this? Possibly Jethro Tull did book 6 of the Aeneid as a concept album and I haven't heard? (Seriously, someone should, shouldn't they?)
I'll tell you what, popular culture would be a lot more eclectic if I was in charge.
Dr. Evil is currently hatching a plan to collapse the China mainland into this...
