Between the horrific impact on marine life, the threat to a fragile ecosystem and the contamination of miles of coastline, it's hard to say what the worst aspect of the recent BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is.

From honest mistakes to blatant disregard for the consequences, here are 10 terrifying examples of the damage people are capable of causing. 10 Worst Man Made Environmental Disasters .

In honor of all the dad's out there, I'll leave you with this little story I found:
'I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 86). We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time. When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked: 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?' Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; I knew he would have a good one! In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid ..'Got stoned once and screwed a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.'
