"Freeze nukes."
I just read a post in GD advocating the use of a glacier-producing "freeze nuke" as a way to stop the Gulf oil gusher.

Where the hell does this shit come from? :crazy:

1. I interpreted that as 'Cut spending on nukes'!
Would make a lot more sense than the real meaning.

2. I think it's similar to the "pray the oil away" expressions
They both have the same capability to stop the oil leak.

3. I think I read that in a Marvel comic once - it was one of the X Men.
Maybe Obama has friends you don't know about.

6. Surely what they need is quantum freezing
I mean, that's bound to work. Quantum always does. I read something once about a 'Bose-Einstein condensate' somewhere, and it's pretty damn cold. That Einstein knew what he was talking about. We should do what he said.

7. You've mentioned Einstein,
so now we're legally obligated by the DU Terms of Service to say "Even Einstein knew 'imagination is more important than knowledge' so just stop your scientistic bullying."

10. Just put the batteries in backwards
That makes carhorns suck and lights cast shadows, so why not nukes?

Seriously though, the real solution is a "Cookin' With Light Crude" series from Emeril this summer.
