Ooh, ooh! We could get Hollywood to pay for lighting it up, and they could film the glorious results. I'm sure they've made entire movies on worse excuses than extensive footage of a literal ocean of fire.

This is the dwarfy thing to do. You all know this.

Good news, the oil greatly hinders development of hurricanes over it.


So just as I suspected, oil spills are actually advantageous.

This wont prevent tree hugger propaganda to try to raise an outrcry to forbid petrol in favor of renewable "energies", of course.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

I don't think you get it.  This perfect though.  We have a new way to prevent hurricanes - coat the ocean in a thin layer of oil.  It's the perfect shield.

Also, Transocean doesn't want to be charged for more than $27million.  That's grate.

That's almost less than an average Mexican drug lord's stash.

If Transocean is going to be fined and this law is used, inflation should be accounted for. Anybody have a nifty inflation-accounting calculator that can account for the huge inflation in the almost 160-year old span between the law's passing and the oil spill?

What's this about the oil PREVENTING hurricanes?
If anything, it will increase the solar absorption of the ocean surface, leading to more energetic storms.

Oh, and if these Transocean tarballs think they can slink away with some technicality, I'm pretty sure it's time for vigilantism.

And if you do get a hurricane it could turn into this only scaled up by 10^6

What kind of fire does that?  I want some for myself.  Kinda reminds me of when a welding-gas company in Dallas caught fire, and downtown looked like the bombing of Baghdad playing in reverse.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

The oil prevents the hurricane from absorbing the moisture from the ocean, according to my newspaper that day.


And is that a tornado hitting a fire?  Holy crap that looks awesome.
