Good thing he was rich before he did something this stupid, because I don't foresee anyone financing it but himself. I seriously doubt too much money came from outside investors. Then again, he could just be fleecing them.

It would be awesome if he found the world's largest supply of annointing oil.

If he finds any kind of oil we'll never hear the end of it. (Whereas, if he doesn't it will fade away and be forgotten.)

[Bub, Andrew]

A crazy religious guy named John Brown? There's just no precedent for that!

[Idar Thorvaldsen]

Geological surveys and an attempt by an Israeli-based company to find oil at the same site 10 years ago, a venture he said was abandoned for lack of funds, led Brown to pick the spot where new drilling will begin this week.

Either? Which other person's religious beliefs have I asked you to defend? Oh... your own.

I've heard there are vast oil reserves under Harper's Ferry!
