The End is Nigh
I hear gas in America is hovering around three bucks a gallon, which sounds obscene to me until I do the math in Berlin and realize that 1.19 euros per liter equals almost six bucks a gallon. Still, Kevin Roderick at LA Observed found what may be the most expensive gas in the nation -- 4 bucks for full-service high octane in Beverly Hills -- which may help to explain the following story.
A church group in Maryland has been praying for lower gas prices. You think I'm joking. But no: Standing at a podium in Washington DC, in front of an Exxon station, Bishop Donald Downing of the Heart to Heart International church prayed, "Lord, add more oil to this nation!"
Church-sign photo above, however, is a joke.
Thanks to Kuchen.
