It's wine... And then what? Drink it all?

No, bottle it for cooking sherry.

[Jackrabbit]

Best seafood buffet ever.

I suppose we could've just had Him turn it straight into sherry, but this way works too, I suppose.

Bet that giant dome is starting to look attractive now, huh guys?

Or, failing that, Jesus could turn it all into wine. I mean, it's an option.

I am not sure that that is an option for the people involved, they may not be on very good terms anymore...

If he's going to turn all that oil into wine, he could magically replace all the fish too! We need to get back on his good side, anyone have a joint we could give him?

Well, there's some good news and some bad news.... The good news is, oil companies' Gulf coast disaster cleanup plans involved wildlife. The bad news is, that wildlife was walruses.

Also, the flow rate isn't really a suprise. That new amount is basicly the same as was estimated by the scientists contacted by NPR. Over a month ago. But of course BP denied it was that high.

Plus theres another BP rig thats at risk, now guess its name.....


Atlantis.


While the name alone wouldn't signify anything, the fact that its at risk makes the whole thing omnous along with the fact that its an even bigger rig.

I looked at the wiki page for it and while it says that it has an operating depth of 6,900 feet, I'm not sure what its current well depth actually is, its at least as deep as the Deep Horizon well though.

What they should have done, is get a big sheet of tarpourlin (spelling?) with a hole in the middle, hole would be attached to a pipe. Attach a weight to each corner and drop the whole thing over the leak.

What I don't get is this: They had to drill the thing, yeah? So that means that somewhere in the world, a company makes big metal sticks the size of the hole, long enough to reach it. Why haven't we stuffed a fucking metal stick in it?

[Leafsnail]

I think I've found the solution.

Quite simply, our problem is that oil floats on water.  If oil were heavier, it would just stay at the bottom of the sea doing nothing.

Therefore, we need a loan from God.  He makes oil twice as heavy for a decade or so while we find a way to capture it.  In return, He can make oil half the weight for the next ten years (plus interest, of course).

No rational being would refuse a loan like that.

Because it'll get shot right back out?

Leafsnail, god made platypus's.

He's one crazy son of a bitch.

Hey, if popular media has taught us anything, it's that unbelievably wise supernatural entities are extremely easy to trick.

We could solve global warming in a similar way.  Just have God cancel the greenhouse effect while we grow old and die solve it to give a better world to our children!
