Interesting little article about the mathematics of the Gulf Oil Spill. Some highlights:

-- The size of the Gulf Oil Spill would fill 9200 average living rooms
-- The Mississippi River dumps as much water into the Gulf Of Mexico in 38 seconds as the
oil leak has released into the Gulf since April 20.
-- If all of the oil released so far were collected, each American could have four soft-drink
cans of crude oil.
