Take it from Snee: The rainbow in every oil spill

So, how about that leak in the Gulf of Mexico, right?

You’re probably expecting a punchline about how terrible it is, or how many animals are going to die or how we could have avoided all of this by investing more in alternative renewable energy back in the 70s.

Well, you’re not going to get that here. In fact, I think this is a good thing. Allow me show you how, in every oil spoil, there’s a rainbow lining.

This shark tastes a bit rare to me

We talk a lot about how various places are failing to do their part, like say, Zimbabwe. But why don’t we instead focus on the good things. Let’s shift to what’s going right in this crazy, mixed up war.

Some Filipino fishermen caught something they had never seen before. But they did know one thing: it was a massive shark of some sort. So naturally they killed it and ate it. That’s what fishermen do. Turns out it was a rare species called the megamouth shark. Only a handful have ever been seen and the species was only discovered in 1976.

At this point, we have to give it up for the Philippines, they really know how to seek out, kill, and as a bonus, eat the rarest of enemies. It was only two months ago that we reported Worcester’s buttonquail, which had been thought to be extinct was found and eaten by our allies the Filipinos.

So to our Filipino friends, we here at SG salute you, and if there are any leftovers, send them our way.
