Australia anticipating development boom in Outback from massive iceberg

SYDNEY (FASTLAUGH.com) – Australian Economic Development officials issued a wildly optimistic assessment today regarding the gigantic iceberg floating directly towards the country’s southwest coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology reported that the ice behemoth, which split from the vast Antarctic ice shelf several years ago and is now steadily drifting north, is being extensively monitored by satellites that confirm it is oddly shaped like a “Mini-me Australia.”
Icebergs of this magnitude are becoming commonplace with sea temperatures steadily increasing from the myth of global warming.
The approaching iceberg (officially known as B17B, but giddily referred to as the “freakin’ mother lode!” by some Australian Economic Development officials), is 140 square kilometres in area and is currently only 1,700 kilometres south-southwest of the West Australian coast.
Glaciologists believe that it can be captured and anchored near Esperance in Western Australia. Once in place, vast reservoirs of pure melted water will be piped ashore and then hundreds of miles inland to the heart of the Outback, Alice Springs.
Galah Figjam, a Northern Territory Economic Development official, laid out his opportunistic but unsustainable vision for Alice Springs, “Freakin’ strip malls, casinos, resorts, dozens of golf courses with real grass and fake lakes, you name it! It will be freakin’ bonzer when we finally have our own Outback Restaurant in the Outback! I’m sick and tired of having to go all the way to freakin’ Wollongong-Fairy Meadow for freakin’ shrimp on the barbie!”
