Now I feel guilty...I think my initial dupe invocation scored me a Super Duper Level 1 badge. I feel like a fraud now.


Don't feel too bad. I made the same mistake once and Dag/Lucky took my dupe powers away from me. It'll be fun to watch the same thing NOT happen to you.

I think that's a perfectly acceptable rejoinder.

Burn the oil. Vapors go in the air. Clouds gather. It rains. Oil falls.

Small kitchen fire gets a little out of control. BOOM!... FIRE, freaking, CANE!!
...okay maybe not but it can't be good

Ah well, Take what you can get...
The other day I went in a fixed 5 or 6 dead videos and although the are no longer dead, It didn't register that I had even fixed them - not even on the awards page - It was like I didn't do anything at all....

I guess it's better than if it were raining men.


Hallelujah.

I tried to sift the same one, and found Demo_ix's vid.

Those were actual nuclear explosions, both in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. They were both underground detonations. I found this: Nuclear Tests In Mississippi? The Consequences of Corporate Controlled Media (it even includes one functioning YouTube video, if someone wants to post it). I too knew none of this, not at all, until I googled it.

I could only find these scant mentions in Wikipedia (though I admit, I didn't dig very deeply):

- Vela Uniform/Project Dribble Nuclear Tests

Are these nuclear weapon tests or or does it include nuclear reactor tests as well? At the end when it overlaid all the tests there was one somewhere around Louisiana or Mississippi, and I don't recall a nuclear weapon test in that area.

This spill will take years to clean up. After the execs are sent to prison, I nominate that they are enrolled into a new work release program entitling them to 7 days a week of beautiful Louisiana coastline labor.

I'm fairly certain the people of Louisiana would like their gulf back, too.

Charlie Melancon is running against Louisiana Senator David Vitter this year:

I disagree that not cutting your grass or opening a porn shop infringes on other people's property rights. The argument that someone's property value drops is valid, but I don't personally believe the perceived value of someone's property in relation to what someone else does with their property is something that should be regulated or legislated unless the property owner voluntarily signed an agreement agreeing to do so.

Hi, I've just been hired by BP's legal team, and we'd like to talk with you about trying to get you elected to the Louisiana Supreme Court.

See, we were doing something with our own property that, well, just so happens to have accidentally had a detrimental effect on the value of the surrounding people's property.

We don't really think it's fair that anyone ask us to stop, or compensate them for what we did, because after all, we were just exercising our right to do what we want on our own property. We're clearly not threatening any person's life, so what's the harm?
