What's Your Guess?

We have a new cottage industry in the U.S. It's called "How Much Oil?".

While it's a minuscule part of the Gulf oil spill, it has captured the imagination of the press. Guesses as to the spew rate are all over the map, ranging from 12,000 to 25,000 at the lower end to "Who Knows?" at the high end.

First of all, I would place no credence on the estimate of anyone who calls it a "spill".

That the US has any form of cottage industry is surely news to most of us?
