Old News, Bad News, Great Idea



Multicultural crayons. I knew something was seriously lacking from my childhood.

BTW, going back to the last post, apparently BP is attempting to plug the Deepwater Horizon well via a procedure called "top kill," whereby they pump high density drilling liquid into the well, in the hope that it will stem the tide of oil. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid, but does anyone find it disconcerting that this is called "top kill," rather than say, "pump some mud into the well?" It just seems kinda cavalier - I have these images of these BP engineers thinking they're in a Michael Bay film.
