Re: Astounding Oil Revelation

Before I read Glenn's comment my reaction was to say a colloquialism for
bovine excrement but wont say that as I got censored for using it on
Theology Web and got "curtailed".

Sounds like a good conspiracy theory and typical of a clergyman to fall for
it. (Not that I am anti-clerical!)
