  • StigNordas, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Very interesting idea. I would worry that the plastic would leech into the water causing even more concern. We'll see if every baby born in LA County in 2010 is female from bisphenol A. If so, I'm movin' to LA in 2028!
  • gn0stik, on 06/11/2008, -1/+7Anybody else picture 200,000 black dudes teabagging the reservoire?
  • aflaks, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3i read "blue balls". Far less interesting story in actuality.
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3have you ever heard of the emancipation proclamation?
  • CDRrules, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2It must have been quite a stroke of genius thinking this one up. As another guy said, I hope the plastic doesn't leech. I wonder what this will mean for aquatic animals in the lake.
  • bosssmiley, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2I'm glad that I am not alone in having such a horrible mind.

    Clever idea though.
  • slayerab, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2I thought it was just a big fraternity bid session out in LA
  • niro121, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2No way !
  • Bukowsky, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2"The reservoirs will be covered by 3 million balls for roughly 4 years."

    That'll be fun fishing them all out of the water in 4 years.
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2hmmm ... think the black balls would heat up the water?!
  • h2200161813, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2it would have been so much better if they were blue
  • lawrenceboland, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Would've taken 600,000 white balls
  • RyanElston, on 06/11/2008, -1/+2Hurray! I'm Saved
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1yeah, fishing them out will be the interesting part
  • gavinhudson, on 06/13/2008, -0/+1wow... 222 diggs and not popular... crazy.
  • jendangereddd, on 06/11/2009, -0/+0WOW, they really didn't think this through did they.
  • RyanElston, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1Hurray! I'm saved!
