A 30,000 foot oil drill, wow that is going to take some devine intervention... that is if they can find a rig big enough to turn all the weight of that drilling pipe. If my rough calculations are even remotely close to being right that would be about 1500 sections of drilling pipe or 1,800,000 pounds of pipe. That is going to be one Momma of a drilling rig!!!!

But the interesting part is during the drill, there are certain points of the drill, when they need to pull the drill bit out to replace it... all that pipe comes out the hole and the bit has to be manually replaced and then it goes back into the hole. I certainly wouldnt want to be any where near that site when a bunch of rough necks are told they are going to be pulling 1000 or 1100 or 1200 or even 1300 sections of pipe out of the ground <ROTFLMAO>

I wonder if any of the dudes that built the pyramids are still around??? They may be up to this task.
