Feed me, see less
The guys at Hillbuzz are perplexed by the sudden lack of filth in the Gulf of Mexico:
Since oil is not a solid, but a liquid, like water, predicting where it ends up might be more complicated than looking for rubber ducks that were dumped off a large freighter (which happened in the 80s … and provided scientists [with] all sorts of data on how the currents worked and where debris in the oceans ends up). But, we just think it’s bizarre the “experts” are stumped on where all this oil is.
Well, actually, the rubber duck incident was in 1992, but let’s go on, shall we?
“It disappeared” or “something drank it” are not good enough answers.
Though, we’ve always said that eventually SOMETHING would evolve to eat petroleum products that are supposedly accumulating into a giant garbage dump in the middle of the Pacific. We saw a special once about this place that plastics supposedly go, that traps all sorts of animals who are too stupid to get out of the way. That’s where all of those plastic rings from soda packs are strangling all sorts of things, apparently. With all of that material out there, it just seems obvious that some kind of bacteria or critter would evolve to feast on all of it as a food source in due time. That’s what seems to happen to everything else in the ecosystem. Looking at the course of life on this planet, that’s happened time and time again where some pressure forced organisms to adapt, survive, and thrive.
Who knows? It might even work on the GOP.
Then again, we probably don’t want to encounter one of these theoretical creatures in the, um, flesh. After pondering for several minutes and realizing that what I’d come up with was basically tentacle porn starring Cthulhu, I figured I’d better change the subject.
So: how about those Sox?
