R.I.P. John Wooden.
“He set quite an example. He was more like a parent than a coach. He really was a very selfless and giving human being, but he was a disciplinarian. We learned all about those aspects of life that most kids want to skip over. He wouldn’t let us do that.” – Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Straight out of a scene from Lost, engineers are now proposing that the federal government “send a nuclear device 18,000 feet under water, detonate it, and hope the sudden blast of heat and pure energy is enough to melt the rock around the [leaking] well and clog it,” saving the Gulf Coast from further devastation caused by the BP oil spill.
Obviously, no one is certain that this plan will work, and the White House has already classified it as “crazy.” But, maybe it’s just crazy enough? Apparently the Soviets were successful in a similar situation back in the 60s, and everyone knows we should be doing whatever the Soviets did, since technically they don’t even exist anymore.

According to the Daily Beast, Hollywood movie director James Cameron has been brought in by the EPA to discuss possible solutions to the horrific oil spill now creeping from the Gulf of Mexico to Florida. Apparently, Cameron “‘is considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies,’ presumably from his experience making Titanic.”
If I were James Cameron, I’d be kind of insulted that I was second choice after that “top kill” idea.
