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.

    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"

    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...

    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.
