I learn something new every day (which is why school is awesome)

Pop quiz.

Where does most of the oil we use in the US come from?

Do you know?

I didn't until yesterday. I assumed it was somewhere in the Middle East, somewhere like iraq, and while Saudi Arabia-which is the largest oil producer in the world-sends quite a few barrels our way the answer was pretty suprising to me.

It's Canada. Our friendly neighbor to the north. Kind of makes you questions the Middle East conflict, and how the media portrays it.
