In a most fervent effort to kill the boredom at work that ultimately attacks no more than fifteen minutes after my arrival, I usually peruse the latest celebrity gossip. I know it is disgusting. I'm pretty sure I don't really care about who's dating who while sleeping with whoever while married to that one guy. It's a guilty pleasure, like eating your entire solid milk chocolate Easter bunny in a span of five minutes (not that I would do that). Anyway, before I got to the bottom of the MSN homepage where they stow away all the juicy stuff, this headline jumped out at me "Bible used to search for oil in the Holy Land".

Okay, so let's take a moment to collect ourselves. Don't get me wrong, Israel might be a good place to look for oil but aren't there perhaps more scientific, more reasonable ways for finding it? I don't mean to undermine anyone's faith in God or even the Bible but you are going to tell me that one verse holds the key to a major discovery of oil and even more audacious, that nobody else has found it. So yea, I don't know enough about geology to have any clue where to look for oil and where not to, it's just that the common knowledge suggests that yes, the Middle East is a good place to look for it-. So it seems obvious to me that if it were there they probably would have already found it, sucked it all up, refined it, and charged me $2.45 a gallon for the finished product.

Maybe it's just me.
