This is why we can't have nice things Gothic.net!

Maybe they cuold get giant shifters to separate the oil from the water.

BTW, Oil doesn't make thing glow. ~duh

[HumanePain]

Sounds like Des and his pet fish are suffering from the Trench mouth.

[Saya]

I blame the parents.

Won't someone think of the children?!

[Ben Lahnger]

I blame the children who won't think of their parents.

All they think about is, "I want a t-rex!"

Or a pony ... if the estrogen wins.

[Lady Sorrow]

great. just what we need. a trench full of creepy crawlies, vampires, and glowing fish... what will we find down there next?? the cousin of Nessie?

[Catch]

I don't see what the problem is, oil is great for skin, probably scales too.

[Lady Sorrow]

ya if you get it from the places that its ment to do that for you. but if its the shit thats closing in on flordia and the coast right now we might as well kiss our marine life good bye.

Isn't there a bacteria species that eats oil and converts it into organic, non-toxic (or less toxic) residue? I searched the internet but only found Oil of Wild Oregano lulz. I thought Monsanto or Union Carbide or someone had come up with the application.

i hope that exist. thatd be really kewl. hey! if bp are ready to stop bullshitting around, maybe the can blackmail some of those uptight connections theyve got and import a few million of those (cause face it, bp knows those things are real and obviously they have them im a secret underwater lab where they do absured experiments and hide all the other neat stuff from the world.)

Govenor ‘impressed’ with Sarasota oil-eating bacteria
By GRACE GAGLIANO - ggagliano@bradenton.com

SARASOTA — Gov. Charlie Crist, visiting Sarasota-based Osprey Biotechnics today, said he was “very impressed” with the oil-eating bacteria produced by the company.

Crist met with Osprey Biotechnics’ executive team for about 40 minutes to discuss its product Munox, a bacteria that degrades petroleum.

Secretary Mike Sole, of the Department of Environmental Protection, has a conference call with Osprey this afternoon and will give Crist a briefing later today. Sole is a scientist, Crist said, and he wants his imput before promoting the bacteria for use in the Gulf oil spill.

Crist said he may talk to President Obama about the product during his next weekly conference call with the White House.

Since the BP oil spill April 20, Osprey Biotechnics officials have been working to get Munox applied to oil-contaminated water and sand in the Gulf of Mexico.

Unified Command has yet to evaluate and review the company’s product solution application to determine whether Munox is feasible in treating the oil spill.

CNN interviewed Osprey Biotechnics officials Tuesday.

Munox consumes oil, digests it and breaks it down to harmless substances such as water and minute amounts of carbon dioxide, according to company officials.

Osprey estimates that 55 gallons of Munox would treat 36.5 square miles of water in the Gulf of Mexico, and a little more than 100 of the 55 gallons would treat 4,000 square miles.

Company officials say they have enough inventory on site to make hundreds of thousands of gallons.

whoo hoo, alright. comeon obama, git er done!
(seriously, if they dont do this, ill be pissed. to much marine life has died.)

[Ben Lahnger]

Not that this is the Gulf Oil Spill thread, but I was researching the oil eating bacteria in the early days of this disaster. Scientists have concerns that while the bacteria do eat the oil, the unintended side effects are that the bacteria end up also eating up oxygen and having an adverse effect on the food chain in the area that it is deployed. This is why this bacteria has been around for a while but not used in a massive application.

If the bacteria can be modified to have a shorter life span and consume less oxygen, it may yet prove to be a viable solution to oil spills.

Speaking of the trench, you think if I hang out in a completely darkened room for years, I could evolve that glow-in-the-dark mutant ability?

that would be awesome but i think it would a few thousand, if not millions of, years to develope that type of gene (or what ever it would be) then again with scientis [sic] swapping genes with everyother living thing, maybe only weeks???

but that's no reason not to try.

Where is my god damned dinner?

[Lady Sorrow]

in the freezer above the two month old frozen pizza.

[alchemie]

Damn dude. Were you bored or something? Heh. That is one cool ass picture of a fish though, LOL.

[Angelic Dissonance]

I'll bet it has deep-sea trolls, with glowing spines. As for the money, it is mine. I have none, meaning no one has any, 'cuz if I ain't gettin' any, then NO ONE sho' as Hell ain't gettin' any! Naw' mean?
