Black Gold! ?

Voting is closed and the results are in!  If this were final Jeporady many of you would be heading home sad.  91% of you overestimated the amount of oil in the sands of Jordan.  To the 3 of you who chose correctly well done!  Yes the answer was 0.  Jordan does not have oil as a natural resource.  It is smack dab in the middle of the Middle East but must import all its oil.

And extra credit to our friend Jason Irish.  I will let his response speak for itself:

Ok I think you're starting this Blog out w/ a trick question.....are we talking about Crude Oil or Olive Oil?   If it's crude oil, Jordan is only an importer as far as I've read.  As far as Olive Oil, they produce quite a bit, albeit not nearly on the scale of Spain, Italy, & Greece, the top 3 worldwide in that order according to most figures!
That's my final answer!
