We're awesome because we make things like this.
A rubbish dump twice the size of the United States has been discovered floating in the Pacific Ocean.
The vast expanse of debris, made up of plastic junk including footballs, kayaks, Lego blocks and carrier bags, is kept together by swirling underwater currents.
It stretches from 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan.
Wasn't there a grunge band in the early '90s called "Floating Rubbish Dump"? Their one and only album was called "Footballs, Kayaks and Lego Blocks"? If not, someone get on that.
