The Blowout Preventer—Hang on for dear life and try to work a series of valves and try to seal an oil well! Whoops, look out for the robots and falling oil rigs! It’s a Tower of Doom! The Top Kill—It takes a Top Gun to ride some heavy drilling fluid down into a live oil well! See if you can shut down the well! Bet you can’t! It’s a gusher! Cap that Well!—Little engineers will love trying to place a “containment device” over a live gushing oil well a mile below the sea! Hey, don’t knock it off! Skimmers and Sharks—See how much oily water you can collect using your own boat. But watch out for the sharks! They are oily and mad. Saw and Cap—Use actual underwater robots to saw broken pipe and place a “containment device” over the spewing oil! It’s cold down there! Junk Shot Blast!—Hey kids, try to plug up a well using golf balls, pieces of tires, and whatever you can find! The more junk you shoot, the more points you make! Fun with Chemical Dispersants—Try your hand at “dispersing” 5

Why the Al and Tipper Gore Split Seems Boring

Lacks an Eliot Spitzer prostitution ring  No John Edwards adultery + chemo thang Lacks Heather Mills temper tantrums  That whole Gulf of Mexico thing Global warming: lost that loving feeling? Lacks the James McGreevey "whoops I'm gay" thing Gore marriage more believable than Clinton "marriage" Lacks the Mel Gibson anti-semitic rants  Makes Iran-Contra affair seem like a real affair Lacks Governor Mark Sanford's whining No divorce by Twitter ala Jim Carrey Lacks the bizarre touches of a Mike Tyson No A-Rod affair with Madonna Lacks the obvious adultery of Rudy Giuliani Just to ask: What was Lisa Marie thinking? Lacks the Whitney Houston-Bobby Brown drama
