BP obligation to pay dividends ($2.6bn) to its shareholders supercede footing the bill to paying damages and fixing the oil spill.

Not to mention the lobbying to keep (or was it further cap?) BP's obligation to pay damages?

 I am glad to be the one giving the resounding cry of 'First!'

 It seems that an increasing number of good beaches down there are being closed as goo balls the size of jellyfish that can cause skin cancer are washing ashore. Seems beaches are now a double threat of skin cancer.

I'd totally keep a tarball in a jar. When asked what it was I'd say

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'd then proceed to explain that it was located several thousand feet of solid rock beneath several thousand feet of water several hundred miles away, prior to certain events depositing it onto a beach people could normally go relax at. Or better yet, a nature preserve.


I would neglect to mention that I got both using a car, however.

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.

OR, we could just get a very large hydrolic press and close the pipe by crimping the end...

You're forgetting that its 5,000 feet below the surface, whatever hydraulic press is sent down there is going to have to be adapted to those pressures and its not going to be easy to use it down there with the ROVs.
