Oil dependency to end by 4920 AD
From The Onion:
--Walter
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush unveiled an aggressive initiative Monday that would make the U.S. free of petroleum dependence by the year 4920, less than three millennia from now.
... ... ...
Exxon Mobil CEO Lee Raymond said the petroleum-producing company shares Bush's hopes for a cleaner environment "well before the sun turns into a red giant and dies."

I should probably point out that first off, The Onion is a satire site, and second, we're definitely not going to be importing oil for more than another 150-200 years or so. It should be dried up to the point where it's no longer as cost effective as domestic alternative fuels.

Of course, as AZCivic pointed out, the Onion is a satire site. I should also mention that some people (i.e. anybody with good taste) may find it offensive or obscene.

The Onion also reports that some creationist scientists refute the law of gravity, instead offering the theory of "Intelligent Falling."
