The latest problem for BP comes as about a half dozen tar balls are washing up on an Alabama island.

Coast Guard chief warrant officer Adam Wine said the tar balls had been collected by Saturday afternoon at Dauphin Island. He says the substance needs to be tested, but officials think it came from the oil spill.

Oh, that's easy.

Heh, that's exactly what I thought of when I read 'tar balls'. Unix nerds, like us.
