Thanks, Joey! I hope you're paid what you're worth!

Berkeley prof: ?Mystery plumber? may have designed the new BP containment cap
By Brett Michael Dykes

When BP's newest spill-containment strategy in the Gulf yielded such encouraging initial results, many asked why the oil giant didn't hit on this solution earlier in the crisis.

The short answer is that the model of the well cap now in place didn't exist in the earlier stages of the spill saga. But what's more noteworthy than the timing issue is the likelihood that the device owes its origin to the same authority that any homeowner turns to in order to get a leak plugged: a professional plumber.
 
Wonder if that guy will ever Plumb again?

I love not acting my age,
Damn I love my NASCAR race,
And Hell yes I love my Truck!
 
Not saying that i was the guy for the job but my old Boss was one. He always knew what to do and passed a lot of that on to me. Ol time plumbers know a bit more than Sh!t runs downhill, payday's are on Fri, and don't chew your fingernails. :)

The device used should be in stock, on each and every platform!! They can't cost that much in relation to the total investment.

Good call Slick! LESGO's son placed the plumbing fixture over the leak. There ain't nothing the MM crew can't fix!

Slick, the obvious answer is BBop, but my guess is rutnbuck.:)
