I would like to think this was because someone was reading my blog, but the basic idea and opportunity is so damn obvious that I can not begin to take credit for it. Ah heck, why not! Look what I did!
This ship which arrived yesterday was modified to extract oil from the water just days after it was built and a week or so after the BP "oil spill".
Check out the video: "A Whale"

The ship arrived in the Gulf on Wednesday, but officials have wanted to test its capability as well as have the federal Environmental Protection Agency sign off on the water it will pump back into the gulf. Although the ship cleans most of the oil from seawater, trace amounts of crude remain.
The wait has frustrated some local officials, who say the mammoth skimmer would be a game-changer in preventing drifting streams of oil from washing ashore on vulnerable coastlines.
During a Thursday tour of the inlet to Barataria Bay, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said it was exasperating to have A Whale anchored offshore instead of being put to immediate use.
"They've used the war rhetoric," Jindal said aboard a Louisiana state wildlife boat floating in oil-slicked waters near Grand Isle. "If this is really a war, they need to be using every resource that makes sense to fight this oil before it comes to our coast."
TALK ABOUT SHIT HEADS! GOVENOR JINDAL ET.AL. SCREAMING ON THURSDAY ABOUT A BOAT THAT ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY NOT BEING DEPLOYED TILL FRIDAY, WHEN THEY HAVE TO TEST OUT HOW THE THING IS GOING TO WORK. NOT TO MENTION THEY JUST REBUILT THE THING IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND CAME DIRECTLY TO THE GULF FROM THE REBUILD. BIGMOUTH AND HOT AIR, THAT'S ALL THE BOY IS.
Maybe they should drag Jindal behind a boat and scoop up oil with that mouth.
