Something this large and hazardous and no one is able to pick it up on radar?

Back in '44 they would have picked up the snorkel of a U-boat.

Reminds me of all that crap that washed up on Hawaii and the west coast after the Fukushima Tsunami.

Well unlike the U-Boats no one is actively looking for her.

I would imagine that Canada has some liability in this.

How fast will rats, cut off from all other food supplies, cannibalize themselves into extinction?

The basic definition of "urine therapy" is using (your own) urine internally or externally as a way to aid or sustain your heath. Urine therapy, which includes drinking, injecting, massaging with-, and/or bathing in- urine, is an ancient practice that is used today, not only in times of sickness, but also in times of good health for preventive health maintenance. It has been claimed to have proven helpful in a great number of varying illnesses, ranging from a simple cold and a throat-ache, to tuberculosis and asthma, from minor skin problems such as itching to major skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis and even skin cancer. But you probably ask, "How can your own urine benefit your health? Besides, isn�t it toxic?"

Urine as a lifesaver:
During the NBC Nightly News on October 16, 1992, Tom Brokaw reported that, "In Egypt, rescue workers found a 37-year old man alive in earthquake rubble. He survived almost 82 hours by drinking his own urine. His wife, daughter and mother would not and they died" (http://www.all-natural.com/urine.html ). We�ve all heard stories of individuals who have either lived or died by being trapped in places without food or water for days. In those stories, the survivors were always the ones that drank their own urine. The ones that died probably could not overcome the misguided thoughts that urine is an unhealthy waste product of the body. But it�s not; urine is simply a substance that the body does not need at the time, and a substance that the body secretes. And sometimes, it�s a lifesaver.
What�s in urine?
Urine, 95% of which is water, 2.5% of which is urea, and 2.5% of which is a mixture of minerals, salts, hormones, and enzymes, is not a toxic waste product. Urine is a blood byproduct and though it contains some body waste, it is non-toxic. In 1975, Dr. A.H. Free, published his book Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice, in which he presents a few critical nutrients found in urine:

In a word, if ya don't have Hamm's and yer snowed in...PISS OFF MATE

I like Cody Lund's take on this subject:

People don't survive because they drank their urine, they survive in spite of drinking their urine.

I would say that drinking urine is on par with drinking any american beer.

You've not experienced piss beer quite like Schlitz beer I'd wager.

Always loved their motto...

"When you're out of Schlitz you're out of beer"

Should have read this way...
"When you're out of Schlitz you're full of Schlitz"

I bet the last rat on that ship is going to be a monster!
