While it seems like this site is more aligned with photographic representation of the news, I hate when I read stuff like this…
> Re-revised estimates now place the flow rate at up to 60,000 barrels a day - a figure just shy of a worst-case estimate of 100,000 barrels a day made by BP in an internal document recently released by a congressional panel.
Since when is 60,000 **just shy** of 100,000… Is this why so many students are getting out of school and knowing jack shit? Because 60% is _just shy_ of an A?
EDIT: Holy fuck these pictures are depressing… for some reason this one is the worst to me…
