The US has sent a team of nuclear physicists to help BP plug the "catastrophic" flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico from its leaking Deepwater Horizon well

How f---ing stupid can you get!

What expertise do nuclear physicists have in deep-water oil wells!

OK, how did you do it? It took some bodacious HTML to pull that one off.

“Another thing... I thought all this oil was supposed to be from “fossil fuels”? LOL there is no way all this oil came from dinosaurs.”

None of it came from dinosaurs like t-rex, it came from planktonic flora and fauna that thrived on the vast amounts of carbon and oxygen available to them at the time. The molecular structures found in fossil fuels indicates that the carbon and oxygen had to have go through a biological to form. The metabolic processes are quite well understood, and still observable in every living organism today..... coal formed in a similar way, with different geological conditions resulting in it being coal rather than oil.

“A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO

....

“I gave you an extra 50% because
you did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my
entire career”.

ROFL!.... good one, except that I would have gone with a proctologist rather than gynecologist.

Yeah, let’s use a nuke on it! It’ll turn the ocean floor bottom into glass and seal off! Yeah, yeah, yeah! That’s it!

And what about the tsunami and the nuclear fallout?

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork, and was burned out.

Hey sending a gynecologist would make more sense... he could design a giant tampon

You know this was a joke... but...if in fact you could come up with a material that would swell and absorb oil but not water and could design a something like a giant tampon???

Nuclear scientists to an oils spill? What the heck is that about? Isn’t that somewhat akin to sending a bank manager to rebuild the engine in my truck? Hello... Mr. Obama - What are you smoking?

Nothing like having Chu send his pals some work. At least obama didn’t ask Maya Angelou to round up a bunch of poets for the job.

Nah, Maya and her gal pals will be used as some sort of advisory committee to provide us with viable alternatives to deep sea drilling.

Just you watch.

What about sending the global warming scientists? Aren’t they the smartest guys on the planet?

great we will move from an oil spill problem to dealing with radioactive tidal wave.

"... eh, last year, I commissioned a study of this kind of scenario by the BLAND Corporation; - and did not deem it to be a 'practical' solution for reasons, which at this moment, must be all too obvious.".

( Doctor Strangelove, one of the scientists on Chu's five man team. )

Remember the “Russian report” several weeks ago that said that a north Korean mini sub attacked the rig and Obama would have to nuke the sea bed?

Weird.

With all the experience these guys have with the engineering and geology involved in deep sea drilling Obama might be better served by sending psychics.

If they're anything like the rest of Obama’s experts ( think finance ) then Northern Canada is in for quite a shock.

Right. That is just what we need.

I can hear little bammy now.

(LEFT) "Uhh, Let me be perfectly clear. (RIGHT) We can no longer afford, uhh, (LEFT)to pursue a course of energy policy, uhh, (RIGHT) that requires the emergency use, uhh,(LEFT) of nuclear weapons (RIGHT) to stop such a crisis."

The eco-terrorists would absolutely have a field day with it.

“Or - an alternate theory:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v2/n1/origin-of-oil";

That’s not a theory, that’s a collection of absolute rubbish derived from the completely baseless belief in a supernatural god (not just the linked page but the whole site). Maybe I missed the joke, but if you’re seriously putting that forward as science with a straight face then I can only suggest that you put your myths and fairytales aside and pick up a real science book.
