under a rock.. May 04, 2010, 02:51:54 PM is where I've been apparently. I JUST read about oil spill in the Gulf.One of the things I read on ffcobra.com was that a N. Korean suicide sub blew itself up under the thing. That Obama was trying to decide to arm oil rigs with low-mass nukes, and the N Korea was making plans to attack us with their Redong nukes next...On a more serious note, I heard that a valve has failed, and won't operate to shut off the massive oil leak. Didn't mean to come off as political, I merely stated the first paragraph for it's absolute absurdity. Thoughts on the rest? Quote Selected
under a rock.. Reply #1 – May 04, 2010, 05:27:49 PM I think this is more serious than most realize at the moment. If they don't get this capped before hurricane season, this could be the worst man-made disaster ever. Quote Selected
