I think I read an article yesterday that said they may actually attempt to pull off the current blowout preventer and replace it with another. ---

It’s always amusing to me when people with zero experience suggest “solutions” to problems that they thought of in 5 seconds. Good thinking, asshole. ---

Are you referring to my drawings? They’re not meant to be taken literally… more as a comic relief in a horrible situation. I’m extremely upset about this disaster and my way of coping is MSPAINT to lighten the mood, if only for a couple of seconds. We could drop your E30 on the oil spill and do heaterz to stop the flow of oil, too… ---

Some awsome solutions only take 5 seconds of thought… Look at the Snuggie thing… To me it looks like someone had a chineese factory full of poorly made oversized robes and found a solution on the spot. ---

It’s not a broken pipe that’s gushing wide open. If it were we could just stuff a giant tampon down it. It’s a cracked pipe. I vote for giant soup can and worm clamps. ---

You would also need a lot of tin foil to help seal it like a gasket. I see no problems with this solution. 😛 ---
