    Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

    Hate it when that happens.

      If your iceberg lasts more than 3 days, consult a physician

        And maybe a physicist.

        They’d probably like to know. They are very kinky like that.

    What kinda coincidence is this? I feel like someone must’ve sculpted it.

      My family is from nearby. Unironically hundreds of icebergs a year pass that area. It was honestly a matter of time.

      I feel the same way. I know exactly nothing about ice sculpting, and after typing this I guess I try google… what did the article call it? Sobmething that made me think chunks of glacier is otherwise normal near the coast of Dildo.

      But that just seems like an extremely well place dick joke. That someone or multiple people risked their lives to pull on. Off.

      Yeah, first thing I thought was “Wait - again?!?”. That would have been one hell of a coincidence.

      “Hey, it’s cold out here!”

      That said, I’m somewhat in awe of your standards given its thirty foot tall height.
