Gulf Spill Update- BP Explores The Nuclear Option

After multiple failures in it's attempts to plug it's out of control deep sea oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, BP has announced that it has begun a new phase in oil exploration- exploring what might happen if you set off a nuclear device over a spewing oil well 5,000 feet below the surface of a body of water filled with crude oil. The statement, issued by the military arm of British Petroleum, is significant on two fronts; it marks the first time that the once venerable oil giant has admitted it possesses it's own nuclear arsenal and second, it finally explains exactly what those "Beyond Petroleum" commercials were actually referring to.
