To Aqizzar (this was my pm but they are down)
Hey dude. Internet greetings. I noticed an opportunity to make the BP thread in general into a forum game. How about we organize a contest where the winner is the person who guessed closest to what really happens in the end. Maybe we could expand into a point system and see who is the greatest bay twelve open discussioner (what the hell is that a word?)
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57121.345Also, does the military have a submarine it can sacrifice that would be heavy enough to settle on top of hole once they saw off the pipe? I bet they do. Surely one submarine as a temporary fix is a feasible sacrifice for that.
First you find a big oneThen you use a saw to level the pipe
Then you attach a clamp tied to a rope somewhere on submarine, preferably at it's center of balance so the weight settles on it. Then you put the clamp on the pipe with the weight of a large submarine above it. Can any university scientist prove me wrong? Not company scientist, because we obviously can't trust those. Maybe fill the submarine with crap by using smaller submarines if it can't hold the cap on due to pressure. If that don't work than god damn. Reading these bp stories makes me think of a kid sitting with two similiar magnets trying to push them together. Teacher said it wouldn't work but I'm gonna eat up your time being useless because it means less homework at the cost of actually learning anything. Except in this case the less the kid learns the better off he is in both the long and short term.
Oh yah, don't put BP in charge of it. Put the American Military in charge of it. BP in charge means instant failure. This seems like something that requires total government takeover powers in this limited instance. I don't think you'd hear much argument from the citizens. Obama should be at the beaches commanding his Americans in a time of emergency, rather than issueing more political crap. I'd agree with the tea party when I say where is the change when we need it? He really is a poor politician. He has beautiful speeches, but when it comes past time to act on them he still manages to attend a BBQ. That's not the change we need. That's the same damn thing, blind trust of corporations. He is the most powerful man in the world, with the most advanced killing machinery, which includes a stockpile of submarines, which have been in use for roughly a hundred years. Just fix this shit because you can dammit.
EDIT; Also I edited it after I tried to send a pm, sorry dude. I was trying to make this fun as well as horrible.
