Sulphuric Acid spill.

So there's a chemial spill on I-25 and Colorado Boulevard.  Another good thing for the light rail to be around, my daughter sailed right by it on her way to work.

Turns out that a trucker slammed on her brakes and broke a drum in the back.  It was sulphuric acid.  The highway was shut down for 11 (depends on which news station you listened to) or 10 hours.  So this is the topic of discussion on the way home.  You can see the story here:  http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=167473

Ok, so the conversation from there goes something like this:
Sulphuric acid smells like rotten eggs.  Is highly corrosive.  What is it used for?  Nobody could answer that question.

At that moment we discussed how it could get into water and kill everything in it.  I ask, 'Do you think we could get Obama to swim in that water?  Like he did with his daughters in the oil spill waters?'  The answer was, 'Nah, he'd then be Michael Jackson.'  OUCH!  We laughed really hard.

What I was thinking was this:

DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN
