Fire Ice?

Methane trapped in ice, discovered off the coast of Scotland:

A new wonder fuel dubbed ‘fire ice’ could be buried under the Scottish coast, according to government ministers and experts.

They suspect that massive quantities of methane hydrates reserves are locked of the coast of western Shetland, and that there is possibly enough to last 300 years.

The sherbet-like substance, which consists of methane trapped in ice, has already been tipped by energy experts to be the next major energy resource.


Don't you remember that particular passage from Exodus?

Now Moses Angus kept the flock of Jethro Sholto his father in law, the priest of Midian Donnan: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb Ben Nevis.

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of an bush ice cube: and he looked, and, behold, the bush cube burned with fire, and the bush cube was not consumed.

And Moses Angus said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush ice cube is not burnt.

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush ice cube, and said, Moses, Moses "Angus, Angus." And he said, "Here am I."

And He said, "Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."


Etc.

Prediction: Og will be doing experiments involving farting into a milk jug half-full of water and placed into the freezer in 3...2...1...

Farting into a milk jug? Skim or lowfat? Also, in unrelated news, you have an award waiting for you:
