[Scurrilous]

"A drill ship resumed siphoning off oil gushing from a blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday after a bolt of lightning struck the ship and ignited a fire that halted containment efforts, the company said.

BP PLC spokesman Bill Salvin told The Associated Press that the drill ship called the Discoverer Enterprise resumed processing oil Tuesday afternoon about five hours after the fire caused an emergency shutdown. Engineers on the ship have been siphoning about 630,000 gallons of oil a day through a cap on top of the well.

He said there was no damage reported to the containment cap, and the Coast Guard approved BP restarting the system.

"If we believed it was damaged, we would not have restarted the operation," Salvin said. He added that the Coast Guard approved BP restarting the system."

1. The earth and the heavens are trying to give BP (and us) a message.

Stop causing me (the earth) so much pain. Can't you (BP and us) see and feel my misery.

The earth and heavens are responding to our relentless attacks.
