Maybe the best idea I have heard yet to clean up the oil spill. Okay, just because Hooters Grls and their legs are involved but it still sounds good to me.

Some 15,000 Hooters waitresses in 44 states are "voluntarily donating their torn pantyhose in an effort to help absorb the oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico. The laundered pantyhose are used to make containment booms which are stuffed with hair, fur and fleece to absorb the oil. Hooters expects to collect over 100,000 pairs of pantyhose through this effort, which could ultimately absorb 1 million gallons of oil in the Gulf, if the booms are reused 8 times, the average life of a boom."

Filed this under stupid criminals in honour of a bunch of millionaires that let so much oil seep into our water and had no idea how to stop it. Losers.  There are some really incredible photos found here: Oil reaches Louisiana shores
