Another Gulf Oil Rig Explodes

A few readers have noted that another gulf oil rig has exploded. This one is off the coast of Lousiana. So far all the workers are accounted for, but they are in immersion suits waiting for rescue.

Call me back when there's oil spewing.

"The platform is in about 340 feet of water."

Should make stopping the mess easy.

I wouldn't hold my breath

I wonder if BP execs will give themselves a bonus.

"Hey! It wasn't one of ours!" bonus.

Her comment on the BP disaster was, "Well, at least we are not responsible for the biggest ecological catastrophe any more"

There there, buck up. You'll get them next year.

Apparently Louisiana really pissed off Poseidon sometime in the last few years. Y'all might want to update your Kraken attack response drills just in case...

That's a strange choice of phrase considering you're knocking the one area of the country where under 25% of people own cars, compared to 92% nationwide.

What do you think that keyboard you type on is made of?

I don't know about your keyboard, but mine has the main body of the keyboard painstakingly shaped from the horn of a rhinoceros.
The keys carved from ivory obtained by hunting elephants for their tusks.
The ink to label the tops of the keys comes from finely dicing baby octopuses then running them through a centrifuge.
The springiness of the keys is particularly effective, to get the proper resistance for each key the sinews of baby seals is used.
