Russians are funny

They have sent a team, in two mini-subs, under the north pole, to drop a metal tube that contains a Russian flag (like anyone knows that, and it gets buried by the sea bed in 10 days), and this gives them "claim" to the polar shelf... ummm... I can throw a pair of my dirty underwear stuffed into a bottle off the beach, does that mean that I own that portion of beach? Sweet! Excuse me, I have to run to the beach real quick...

-UPDATE-
Canada calls Russia's attempt to bolster it's claim to the north pole a 15th century stunt.
