Shockingly, it's coming out that one method of containing the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is to, wait for it, use untested toxic chemicals. 

Yep, that's right. Turns out they've already used 150,000 gallons of chemicals to disperse the oil, which makes me think they don't really know what they're doing at all. 

You can read some of the info on it over at the Washington Post. 

Really, it seems like a pretty terrible idea, and we'll keep you posted on how it goes.
