BP tells cleanup workers no photos of dead, oil-covered marine life
“When we found this dolphin it was filled with oil. Oil was just pouring out of it. It was the saddest darn thing to look at,” said a BP contract worker who took the Daily News on a surreptitious tour of the wildlife disaster unfolding in Louisiana.
His motive: simple outrage.
“There is a lot of coverup for BP. They specifically informed us that they don’t want these pictures of the dead animals. They know the ocean will wipe away most of the evidence. It’s important to me that people know the truth about what’s going on here,” the contractor said.

Watch: Massive Attack Interviewed on CBC
There was a slow and steady massive attack on the Sound Academy last night in Toronto. Creeping in across the crowd came that signature smokey lighting and grimy, hypnotic, sexy-soul. One of the godfathers of the 90's genre trip hop, Massive Attack is a collaborative British production duo from Bristol, UK. They have various co-producers and guest vocalists, whom tonight was Ms. Martina Topley Bird, most notably from Tricky. And your boy George was also in the house tonight bopping away to Massive Attack. He will be interviewing the band in the studio on Monday!

The genius of the Lego Printer
Let’s be clear on one thing: Lego is brilliant. The block-based toy started life in Denmark and, since its current design was patented in January 1958, over 400 billion of the little plastic bricks have been produced.
We assumed that this simple toy would never go hand-in-hand with computers, but we’ve been proved wrong by a particularly inventive member of the B3ta forums. While the site is normally full of offensive pictures and jokes that Frankie Boyle wouldn’t tell, this show of ingenuity is guaranteed to put a smile on your face: by combining the diminutive plastic bricks with a Mac and a felt-tip pen, he’s built a fully-functioning Lego printer:
