If it moves, it wants to kill you. It may not try to, but it wants to.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Looks like my derail attempt was cut off quickly.

hur hur, I get it!
Really, though, I didn't expect it to stick. Apparently it has. Are we supposed to forgive BP now or boycott them out of their share of our national market? Who sets the tone so I know what is socially acceptable?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Bottom kill was ALWAYS going to work.  The question was just how long.

I wonder if BP will announce when they start producing from the relief well?  That's the next step in drilling really;  to mill a path out and reroute the oil/gas into the relief well.

Did Aqizzar post a reward for whoever rerailed the thread, or are you the same person?

Ah, but did I get it back on the rails, or merely derail the derailment?

Read a newspaper article that says most of the spill was eaten by bacteria--scientists looked around for oil, but found no oil and lots of microbes.

Hurm.

Link for the lazy, please?

I've heard of petroleum-eating bacteria before, and oil is a hydrocarbon, so it makes sense. Still, I wonder how much of that is wishful thinking or science-spinage. Life as a whole has a habit of rolling with the punches though. Here's to hoping.

It was a physical paper from a while ago.  As in... a newspaper...

So no link ^_^;  Sorry.

Physical paper? I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you know the date and publisher/periodical? 5 interbucks says I can find it online through my school's many databases.

Bleh, fine.

Here.

That wasn't the article I read, but it's close enough.

*Tips hat* Much obliged, ma'am.

That is good news... and the study seems pretty legitimate. At times life reveals just how awesome it is, when a toxic plume of oil can be turned into a bacterial buffet.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Happens to me, but with the sarcastic "sweetness" of my devoutly Catholic mother. Anger inside, time to change her ringtone to a Venom song.
