#1 Hugo could probably get a $100 a barrel if he's willing to accept payment from the Chinese in US Treasury Bonds.

#2 Long time passing my brother had a small concrete business. He once told me it is better to let the equipment sit in the yard rather than have it working on a job where he lost money and had wear and tear on the equipment to boot.

It sounds like these oil companies should pull out and write the loss off the books. I suspect they are losing money and wearing out their equipment as well.

#7 Definitely too many clerics. Everyone knows you need a balanced party with wizards, fighters, at at least one elf.

You mean that rotary transformer thingy, it puts out higher voltage, that's what transformers do, but I've noticed they deliberately do NOT measure amperes.

Not so much a hoax, as bad research, coupled with poor understanding of electricity in the first place.
