Pictures can often speak louder than words. On Friday, September 10th, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana reported a massive fish kill of pogies, redfish, drum, crabs, shrimp and freshwater eel, with a dead whale found nearby. Surprisingly scientist have also discovered a 2" layer of oil approximately 1 mile below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico with dead shrimp and fish buried beneath it. Ian MacDonald, a biological oceanographer from the Florida State University, commented:

"The oil did not disappear, it sank."

Major Media Content Experiment Ends

We will no longer be adding major media content, such as news from the Associated Press, alongside our Thinker content. This will result in the elimination of the "News" content type.

Going forward, we will focus exclusively on Thinker Blogs, Articles, Topics, and Ebooks. Visit our CEO's blog for the thinking behind this change. We want to thank the people of the Associated Press who were very supportive of our ideas and a pleasure to work with.
