How to Clean Up the Oil Spill? Why Not Throw Golf Balls and Bushels of Hay at It!

As people around the world watch as gallon after gallon of oil slowly leaks into the Gulf of Mexico, many different ideas are being thrown out as to how to clean up the mess. If one thing is for certain, nobody is going to actually take the blame for the clusterfuck in the ocean.

I have heard a couple of ideas being tossed out so far that may stop the oil from continuously spreading and killing more and more stars from the film "Finding Nemo". One involves putting a gigantic dome over the leak and then pumping out the oil once it has been contained. Well, this idea failed miserably once a bunch of crystals formed inside the dome.

Next up is throwing a bunch of golf balls and tire pieces into the leak, followed by some mud and concrete, and then hopefully it seal up the well completely. I am the farthest thing from an engineer working for BP, but something just doesn't sound right when Top-Flite balls and Firestone tires are being used to save marine life in the Gulf of Mexico.

This leads to the third solution being pushed by a couple of guys in Florida. They want to use bushels of hay to soak up the oil. I am sure this idea works well on a very small scale, but trying to pick up 4 million gallons of oil with leftover scarecrow parts might be a little far-fetched.


Funny enough, this is probably the best idea out of all the ones listed above. Now we just have to figure out how to get that much hay into the ocean.....and once it actually soaks up the oil..........how the hell we are going to get the oil-soaked-hay out and where to put it.
