[News] Giant Ocean Vortex!

Ocean Vortex 'death trap' discovered.

Clearly, it is a portal to a secret world deep within the interior of the earth!

no, no, that's what the aliens want you to believe! They're siphoning our water away via an interdimensional gateway AND drawing our best oceanographers in to investigate the phenomenon so they can capture them as well!

I, for one, welcome our new aquatic alien overlords!

You don't happen to remember what that's from, do you? I hear it all the time and can't place it.

I have no clue. I've wondered myself, but at this point, it just seems to have become the meme of doom.

Most people know it from the Simpsons:

Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over, 'conquered' if you will, by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.


However this in turn was a reference to the 1977 B-movie Empire of the Ants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_the_Ants)

The Tibetians needed an air hole.

Does that mean they'll be sending yaks back through the hole?
