| #16 If your goal is to contaminate the entire deposit and make sure that oil can never be used, sure. Otherwise, you might want to wait for the relief well that, last I read, was 600 feet from completion. |

| #12 First lets put a BIG cork in it. Then put the bomb right on top. I think we can get it from ACME cork supply and ACME bomb supply. And there is this Coyote that will love to detonate it. What were these folks drinking! |

| #11 One more thing: I am starting to be convinced that the whole "nuke the well" push, along with all of the apocalyptic scenarios that are being foisted about the blowout ending all life in the gulf/gulf states/oceans/planet... are all just propaganda. While we are faced with the idiotic scenarios, both the ones they make up and the ones they want to cause, less people are actually focusing on the government's negligence in actually bothering to contain and clean up the spill, and in keeping others from attempting to do same. The whole "Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry Blowout!" scenario basically absolves Zero of any responsibility for, say, not allowing the use of centrifugal separators or skimmers such as the "Whale A" or whatever it's called, and all the other passive-aggressive bullshit he's done. |

| #10 I have heard the surrounding geologic environment to the well described as "poorly cemented pourous sandstone." I don't know if there's a database for nuclear detonations in such an environment while a high-pressure stream of oil is going through it. The soviet experiments in this nature were apparently all in much more cohesive materials, and were still only successful 80% of the time. It sounds like the perfect solution for all those people who feed their social insecurity checks into the nickel slot machines. Know anyone who's gotten rich doing that? |

| #8 "THE BOOK OF ELI" Movie > Twasn't a "WAR" that "BLEW A HOLE IN THE SKY"??? Lest we fergit, NICHOLAS CAGE'S "KNOWING" > NASA's 2013 SOLAR STORM THREAT-TO-TECHS/CIVILIZATION WARNINGS. Iff what the NET says is correct as per the DEPTH-N-BREADTH, VOLATILITY + VULNERABILITY, OF THE UNDERSEA OIL FIELD(S) FUELING THE GULF OIL GUSH, IFF THE NUKE-THE-GUSH PERTS ARE WRONG = the pre-OWG future OWG may accidentally ignite the GREATEST EXPLOSION OF ALL TIME, NATURAL OR MAN-MADE. "KRAKATOA" + GREAT EPOCHS/EXTINCTION EVENTS SPACE ROCK BOOMS, ETC. would be MERE CUTEY-PIE, NEWBORN "BABY/GESTATIONAL WOMB BURPS". May NOT need a TEHAS/TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROID or DESTABILZ LUNAR ORBIT to alter = change that of Earth. * Lest we fergit II, OWG-NWO "APOCALYPTIC" IRONY + "MIRACLE AT FATIMA" [Dance of the Sun] > To save the EARTH = HUMANITY from destructive SOLAR STORMS/FLARES, to include but limited to SOLAR EXPANSION-CONTRACTION, ONE WAY TO DO SO IS TO CHANGE THE EARTH'S ORBIT RELATIVE TO ANY CHANGES IN THE SUN'S MASS + SIZE. "FATIMA" > SECULARISM + SCIENCE > says it can't + couldn't be the SUN that "danced", ergo could only be the EARTH that was moving = "dancing", NOT THE [static]SUN, Correct??? IOW, PERT ASTRO-SOLAR UNCERTAINTY > A SCENARIO EXISTS such that it may be in Earth's survival interests to STOP NASA FROM SENDING BRUCE WILLIS + BAD/ROUGH BOYZ from going to that certain Texas-sized asteroid. [VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA = The USA + UNO trying to stop the USS SEAVIEW from reaching the MARIANAS to save Earth from the fiery VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS]. D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, THE "SEAVIEW" CAN'T FIRE ON ANOTHER US SUB! ["VOYAGE" Theme here]. AL "DEVIL'S ADVOCATE" PACINO would agree > [God]THE MAN UPSTAIRS, SON, IS THE GREATEST VOYEUR, ETC = DIALECTIC GLOBALIST + POPCORN EATER OF US ALL! |

| #4 Hell yes, make it so. All the worriers aren't thinking big enough. Make it a BIIIIIIIIIIIG one, like a MOAB only ever so much more so. Any kinda luck at all it would light off the Lake-of-Oil and show the world what a Sea 'O Fire really looks like. The 4th is Sunday, think of it as Gawd's own Fireworks. |

| #3 Notice that there are no geologists with deep sea and explosives experience speaking out for this. And the Russians admit they weren't successful; that's why they don't use the procedure any longer. |

| #2 unbelievably stupid. A crater making the leak deeper in the seabed, with radiation that will last for years, and if they were to do this to where a "pile of rocks covered the leak, would only mean the oil will seep around and through the pile... How dumb has mankind gotten in only a few short years??? This is what you get when you replace higher collegiant learning with useless liberal dogma in universities. |
