noone live in NYC, this map is fraudulent (sp?) who cares

11/25/2009 11:05:29 AM

^um, what?



That map is wrong. Canada's proven oil reserves are 2nd in the world after Saudi Arabia (178.1 billion barrels). Info's from CIA's world factbook website.

^but it's not liquid. It's stuck in shale or something. And until they figure out how to get it out efficiently it's basically useless.

Oh boy the CIA there's a reliable source

^^it's already profitable at current oil prices. But you have crying environmentalists to deal with over that. Besides, the map clearly states oil reserves, it does not say which kind.

^well I doubt they made up all that oil

Haha wouldn't surprise me if I found out the CIA data was straight-up fabricated or only loosely based on reality

Not that I'm saying this data is

i like how big antarctica is on that map even though no one lives there

11/25/2009 2:46:59 PM

why would that be something you like? do you spend your time flipping through gas station maps and pointing out how big some counties are when compared to smaller counties? because thats how they spell fun in my household
