Billy Mays III, the son of the popular pitch man that popularized prduct such as Oxy Clean and Kaboom is hosting a costume party in honor of his dead father.
Little Billy posted the following on his website:
“Halloween is approaching rapidly and it goes without saying that “deceased celebrities” (and balloon boy) will most likely be a huge theme at every gathering.
There will no doubt be a multitude of people dressed as Billy Mays (or zombie
Billy Mays).. it is one of the easiest costumes of all time to put together. (Beard, blue button-down, khakis, prop product, etc..)”
Billy wants people to send him pics of their Billy getups — the winner gets a bunch of prizes … including, of course, a tub of OxiClean.
Billy Mays III want everyone to send him pictures of their Billy Mays costume, the winner of the said contest will get a whole buch of prizes include of course a bucket of Oxy Clean which was the product that made his dad popular.
With all these advances in science, there has been numrous cases of these sorts of things. Altering the genetics of your baby like their sex, traits, features, etc. or even having 6 or may be 8 all at the same time. There was also a case of a 66 year old lady giving birth and now we have a 19 pound baby which make me wonder it’s mother’s size.

Didn’t anyone ever tell you that salt mines, shallow lakes and deep-earth drills shouldn’t mix? What started as a seemingly minor miscalculation resulted in a billion-gallon flood, unbelievable property damage and the upheaval of an entire ecosystem. Amazingly, this catastrophe cost no lives though it remains one of history’s most devastating engineering disasters.
On a fateful day in 1980 a group of oil drillers were working in a shallow lake in Louisiana probing for oil. A miscalculation sent their drill straight into a large salt mine shaft below the lake’s surface. The hole started at just over a foot in diameter but rapidly widened as the water from the lake above washed away the salt around it. What started out quite simply ended in disaster that no one could have predicted.
Workers above on the oil platform recognized something was wrong and ‘jumped ship’ before the entire platform disappeared below their feet in a growing whirlpool - all in what was supposed to be a shallow lake! Meanwhile, in the salt mines below, workers made their way through flooded tunnels and all managed to (in some cases narrowly) make it out alive. Despite all of the chaos, no one died above or below ground.
Before it was through, the surface whirlpool managed to suck down islands, barge docks, barges, trees, trucks, an entire parking lock and 3.5 billion gallons of water. The flow of water normally leading from the lake into Vermilion Bay was reversed as the lake refilled itself, and also created the largest waterfall in Louisiana history (over 150 feet) as water poured back into the lake. In the process, what started as a ten-foot-deep freshwater lake became a thousand-foot-deep saltwater lake!
