Pirate is just Somali for Al Qaeda ... Saudis pay the ransom in a heartbeat since it’s a natural to avoid those pesky restrictions on terror finance.
The tanker holds over 100 billion barrels? That really IS some tanker!
:-)
I have it bookmarked so I will always be able to find it. I laugh each time. I use the “Tingling Nodes” pic now and again always with credit to Roscoe.
2 million barrels X $55 = $110 million + $10 million ransom.
I have 2 cats I got from the pound. A female Domestic medium hair, with tuxedo markings and a male Domestic short hair, all black. He’s 20 lbs. Bigger than some dogs. LOL! They still have their claws, too.
Indoor only though. I don’t want my kitties flattened.
Those names would be perfect for an Abby! I don’t know where Jason came from, it really didn’t fit him.
Wow -a 20 pound cat is something!
Mine are indoor as well, except for one. He is just a pain and will pick on the others. So I do put him outside for a timeout now and then. (If I stick him in a room, he’ll destroy it.)
I thought 6T in the post meant 6 trillion.
It’s a supertanker, which is why it holds so much.
Last time I took him to the vet, I asked her if I needed to put Kisa (my boy kitty) on a diet. She said no, that’s just his breed. I’m sure he could kick a dog’s butt. LOL!
Wow - he’s a big breed. What kind is he?
“those pirates are sitting on over 6T worth of oil”
How did you do this math. Plus just think about it “I’m sure everybody knows here, is almost our entire budget’s worth” Would mean we only go through one tankers worth.
I think the “value” is closer to a hundred million to the buyer but to the seller it is worth only a few million. Saudi’s suck this stuff out a few bucks a barrel. Think about it.
All the local dealers have plenty of money to finance cars. I have been shopping.
Unless each barrel on the tanker is worth $1, the total value isn’t $100,000,000.
Just your standard American mutt, IMO but he certainly has some Maine Coon or Norwegian forest cat in him.
I’ve always wanted a Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat. We had one once that had the look and the really friendly temperament - except that she was very petite. So she must’ve been something else. Does yours have the long hair?
“Unless each barrel on the tanker is worth $1, the total value isn’t $100,000,000.”
Never said is was. Somebody said 6 Trillion. I said to buyers is it worth $60/barrel but to the Saudis it is only a few dollars a barrel. Maybe you need to go back and READ!!!
Wait a minute. You are the idiot that said “If the price of a barrel of oil is over $60, those pirates are sitting on over 6T worth of oil, which I’m sure everybody knows here, is almost our entire budget’s worth.”
You have a lot of nerve to attack my math. Get some batteries for you calculator, fool.
What do you think it costs the saudis to replace this oil? $2-3 a barrel? No wonder they will not pay $10 million. Screw it.
so my has his claws also....I think it’s cruel to declaw personally.
