I've solved the NYC gas smell mystery

You ever watch those Unexplained type shows about The Bermuda Triangle? One of them that I saw a while ago said that the reason ships could get destroyed and lost in the Triangle could be these methane bubbles that pop up from the ocean floor. The force of them could break a ship in half or knock it over stuff like that, which would explain away any strange vortexes or alien abduction theories.

Now remember a while back when the USS Intrepid was being moved for repairs or whatever. Anyway it got stuck, so it was really in there right? Okay, what if under it, the pressure from some of these methane bubbles had built up over all that time into one gigantic bubble?

Stick with me now. What I'm proposing is that in the middle of the night this bubble floated to the top. Now I'm guessing nothing is in the place of where the Intrepid was. I don't know. I don't live in NYC. But what if this huge bubble floated to the top? Or even better, maybe it could have been a series of smaller bubbles so it wasn't obvious and since the smell went on for some time I guess that would actually make more sense. So all day this methane is going up and up and up (mind you I don't know if methane actually smells, this is just a guess after all). Generally wind currents go west to east right? Well the gas could have been spread across all of Manhattan by the wind but then dissipated enough that it never made it to Connecticut. And the clincher is that people in New Jersey did smell it and since the Intrepid was in the East River that makes perfect sense.

Tah-dah. I want a cookie.

Is Sweeney Todd even a musical?

Tim Burton seems to be casting his movie with an odd assortment of people. Okay, they're not odd for him, but they're odd for a musical. Now Johnny Depp did sing before I think in Crybaby. But even that seemed strange. Now he's going to use his girlfriend and friggin' Borat? I dunno. I love musicals and look forward to any big screen adaptation but why can't these people cast known singers who can definitely handle the task.

Yeah it's a new year

whatever.
