Thanks for the invitation, TCLAUDE. Unfortunately, I don't know much about oil or drilling, and would therefore have nothing to offer this thread. In fact I used to think that those bobbing oil pumps were actually Monuments to the Great Chicken. I was driving through the buckle of the Bible Belt, on one of those lonely country roads (you know, in the land where they don't believe in dentists). I stopped to ask an old-timer sitting at a gas station about the wells. "Hey Zeek!" I said. "Are these things really just a monument to the Great Chicken?" After taking a sip of his moonshine, and muttering something about 12 foot tall talking chickens, here explained to me that they are really machines that pump oil out of the ground. It was at this point that I realized that I didn't know very much about oil. *************************************************** But, if anyone has a question about their love life, or about how to work the Rubik's Cube, I will be glad to answer it at exchange2000.com I am thinking about opening a "Psychic Chicken's Hotline", and I need the practice.
