Giant Blob Found Beneath Nevada »
Posted By Eagle_Eye 5 months, 2 weeks ago in Science & TechnologyHidden beneath the U.S. West's Great Basin, scientists have spied a giant blob of rocky material dripping like honey.
While studying the area, John West of Arizona State University (ASU) and his colleagues found evidence of a large cylindrical blob of cold material far below the surface of central Nevada. Comparison of the results with CAT scans of the inside of Earth taken by ASU's Jeff Roth suggested they had found a so-called lithospheric drip. (Earth's lithosphere comprises the crust or outer layer of Earth and the uppermost mantle.)
Here's how it works: "The Earth's mantle, which lies below the thin outer crust we live on, consists of rock which deforms plastically on very long time scales due to the heat and pressure at depth," West said. "In any material which can flow (including the mantle), a heavy object will tend to sink through lighter material."

I wonder if this is any where near the area they did the nuclear tests at, you know, where the giant ants and other mutated critters are......it could be honey from mutated bees,... it could be nuclear waste melting away the earth.....

The killer bees will (I hope) take jobs mostly that the Liberals feel beneath their station in life. Baring that they WILL get their jobs from the Liberals who will surely, give up theirs so the displaced will be able to live and send money to the other bees in the homeland, from whence they were lured by the Liberals of the U.S.A Good riddance a-- holes.
