Wells had it right...

So the BP well explodes.
So we are assured a bazillion jillion megagallons of crude oil are going to flood the gulf.
We are promised that it is going to ooze around Florida and up the East Coast like the freaking Blob.
We are WARNED, by EXPERTS, that eeeeevil BP has probably cracked the whole foundation of the Gulf and the entire seabed is going to collapse in an ecological disaster of Biblical proportions.
Nothing we can do, and we proved this by trying to do nothing, seems to check the crisis.
The military fails.  Science is baffled.  Thousands flee.  Obama takes a 10 handicap...

And now we can't find the oil.  Because, apparently, bacteria ate it, like they've been eating oil in the gulf for millions of years.

"...slain, after all man's devices had failed, by
the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth."

Maybe this will lay a little humble on all our so-called experts.
