#2 is fake. Although lightning strikes does cause arborizing scars they are not that pretty.

It's real. It may not be a permanent scar. But google can be your friend before making yourself look foolish.

Not only that, but the marks left by lightning tend to disappear pretty quickly.

Definitely but then I wondered why I was fact checking anything on the internet and became overwhelmed by suspicion. I'm now under my bed.

#8: Not sure why you feel the need to say "that's not a branch", as it doesn't even remotely look like one.

Having flown over Dubai numerous times I can say that that is a concept drawing and not the actual view.

Personally, I think dubai is horrid

I liked the first artificial island they built. Looked cool. Now it looks like the shitty Sim City landscapes I would make as a 12 year old.

the blue ice turns that color and has that glassy effect because of heavy snow on top pressing all the air out. scientist confirm please...

11 years ago | Likes 28 Dislikes 0

Not to mention glaciers are blue because they absorb all other colors of the light spectrum except blue due to the compression.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Seems we're both right. But the compressed snow blue ice is still revealed with the iceberg flips over.

oh, yeah, of course, my bad, I wasn't arguing that, you definitely can't see the awesomeness until the fucker flips over

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's a scar from coral, not lightning.

I agree to an extent. It's not a new complaint. But I don't think 20 years ago it was common for people to walk and look at a newspaper.
