From The Onion:

Quote:

WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush unveiled an aggressive initiative Monday that would make the U.S. free of petroleum dependence by the year 4920, less than three millennia from now. ... ... ... Exxon Mobil CEO Lee Raymond said the petroleum-producing company shares Bush's hopes for a cleaner environment "well before the sun turns into a red giant and dies."

Hi Walter:

___According to the Presidents top Scientific and Energy Advisors, 4920 AD is a worst case scenario and one the administration views as overly pessimistic

___Good Luck and God help us all

I should probably point out that first off, The Onion is a satire site, and second, we're definitely not going to be importing oil for more than another 150-200 years or so. It should be dried up to the point where it's no longer as cost effective as domestic alternative fuels.

The Onion also reports that some creationist scientists refute the law of gravity, instead offering the theory of "Intelligent Falling."

Of course, as AZCivic pointed out, the Onion is a satire site. I should also mention that some people (i.e. anybody with good taste) may find it offensive or obscene.
