A barrel of crude is around 42 gallons, and no, I haven't.


It says in the Koran that it's 55 gallons.
Do you doubt the word of Allah, or of his prophet, Mohammed?
Infidel! :-)

"US or Imperial?"

"I don't know! Aaaaaah!"

Though most places where capital punishment is still performed (after a
fair trial by an impartial jury of the accused's peers)

ISTM that the peers of a person accused of a capital crime could only be
other people accused of capital crimes. What's a peer in the legal sense?

....That's coming. We have to wait until Castro croaks, and we take
back Cuba first.

"What a waste of electricity. A noose would be more efficient."

Except that it's *not* one of the largest sources of oil for the US- if
securing oil was the real reason, why didn't we "secure" Mexico or Canada?

....Because eventually Canada will beg to join the Union, and as it
stands right now Mexico is conquering the US via illegal immigration.

Originally it meant someone of the same social class (from the days of
nobility). Think commoners, versus aristocracy.

Unless the barrel is a 55 gallon barrel, as Pat specified.

Are actual 42-gallon barrels used much, in comparison to the 55-gallon
ones? I don't deal with barrels much and am only aware of seeing the
55-gallon ones and some that are more like 15-20 gallons.

An execution is an execution.

Complete nonsense. That's like saying all deaths are murders.
