The Google Apocalypse Barges

Sounds like Occum's Razor will likely lead to the answer and it will in fact be a seawater cooling experiment. I have seawater cooling for the IDF room in our new building at work and it functions surprisingly well.

Then again, this is APS, and there's no reason not to start a conspiracy theory.  =D

Didn't they use giant barges / ships in that stinker film 2012?

Why does the Israeli Defense Force have a room in your building?  [tinfoil] (You wanted a conspiracy, right?)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

As the article notes that there are 4 barges owned by By and Large.  This one in San Fran with the structure and another barge without anything on it.  One of the other By and Large barges has been seen in off Portland Maine with a similar structure to that in San Fran.  I don't know why they would be testing in two different locations.

There are strange things done in the land of the sun
With taxes paid by you and me.
But the strangest one yet paid for by debt
Is the mysterious barge on Lake LaMarge,
Where they will cremate you and me.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Google BOX 1.0...

Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
