Will The Large Cap Stop The Oil In The Gulf?
Or will it leak around it? does the well just need to be blown up to cap it? How much oil in a tarball anyway? This seems to make high speed rail seem more appealing than drilling more offshore wells What say you? :beer: <------ Oil?

4. They have the new cap on they just need to do some pressure tests to see if anything
is leaking. Let us cross our fingers and hope the pressure is very high cause that will mean the cap got all the oil.

5. I have performed a series of bathtub experiments with a garden hose and a walnut shell,
and I calculate a 75% chance that it will hold. :silly: (Actually, I have no idea - I'm optimistic, but that's only because I hope it works.)
