When you first told me it was Saddam Heussein's secret hydraulic-fracturing recipe for greatly increasing the production of oil and gas wells -- "which was captured by the US military" -- that allowed firms like Chevron and thus the US to again become one of the world's largest and least cost oil producers I didn't believe you.

But when you explained that Saddam had hidden his guar gum recipe with just a pinch of saffron in his linen closet next the his weapons of mass destruction, it all made sense.

You say Chevron would never have been able to figure out how to use the secret recipe of guar gum, water and sand to increase the production of Permian Basin and other wells across America, which have flooded the world markets with oil, without Saddam's help so it must be true. For cost reasons, Chevron dropped saffron from the recipe.

But others say guar gum, also used in Jello Puddings, was first suggested to the American oil industry by comedian Bill Cosby telling the American Petroleum Institute, "Even in tight oil bearing sandstone and shale strata, there's always room for Jello Pudding."
