Carved somewhere deep into the permafrostof a remote Arctic mountain in Svalbard, lies a"doomsday" vault that has been builtfor the most unlikely reason.
And if you think Svalbard is in Russia oryou really have no bloody idea where or what itis, take a look at the map below.
Yeap, Svalbard is located in Norway.And if you don't know where Norway is,then... you're seriously a lost cause, man.
-------------------------------------------------
Dubbed a Noah's Ark for plant life and built towithstand an earthquake and even a nuclear strike,the Svalbard Global Seed Vault has one sole purpose;to protect the world's seeds from global catastrophe.
Now, where the hell can Moses be?
The arctic seed bank is the largest in the worldand has the capacity to store 4.5 million seed samplesworldwide, shielding them from climate change, war,natural disasters and other imminent threats,such as Kiasu Singaporeans...
...whom would empty out the world supply of seedsbefore you can say SIAO SINGAPOREANS!
-------------------------------------------------
Any country in the world can deposit seeds of theirown into THE VAULT for free and reserve the right towithdraw them when they need it. Just like a bank lah!
I'M sure Singaporeans will be at the front ofthe queue or else, complaining at the back...
"OEI! cepat la, queue so long already,
i want my gua zi! Faster, faster lei..."Some of the priority crops include Banana,Potato, Rice, Maize and Lentils. Barely appetizing,but hey, what other choice do you have left?
The world's at an end, there's only that left.Either go green or bye-bye. Woo-hoo,score one for the vegetarians!
