Our friend Dave walked in yesterday and suggested the explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon was sabotage. Dave has an agile mind somewhat given to conspiracy and my first inclination was to dismiss his hypothesis. But then I pondered, how does crude oil become incendiary? The answer, crude oil does not but methane does. This prompted a review of high school chemistry and physics.

No-No Nadya

Newsflash #1:  Man beheads his wife when he finds out she wants a divorce.
Newsflash #2:  Man kidnaps woman and puts her in a diaper and chains and reads her passages from the Bible.  Sometimes he tries to smother her with a blanket or pillow.
Newsflash #3:  Woman who already has six kids has octoplets out of wedlock.

Whole world outraged--by newsflash three.  Nadya Suleman, the octuplets' mother, hired a public relations agency to deal with the crush of media attention, but the PR firm quit when they started receiving death threats.  Even Suleman's own father has attacked her in the media.
