I'm not sure if its in Oblivion as I'm only level 16 and I don't use Alchemy anyways.

But in Morrowind, there was ONE Grand Masters for each of the alchemy devices, and they were really hard to find.

Alchemy is easy to master and provides a ridiculous cash source once you get it up to higher levels.  I can go to a major city and depopulate the fruit and vegetables from the neighboring farms and make 10-15k in a single sell.

You go pick up fruit and vegetables and mix them together for your money.

I can clear an Oblivion Gate in 20 minutes and make 8-10k.

Potions are for hippies.

Well, they aren't just for profit potential.  I've got more Restore/Fortify potions than I know what to do with.  If I get into a tough battle, I can chug a couple of custom-made potions and become practically invincible.

That sounds like a huge leap of logic.  "They had an alchemical device, so they must've been trying to make gold!"  That's like saying I'm trying to win the Indianapolis 500 simply because I own a vehicle.

Horrible, horrible journalism!

Did you not read the whole article again b0b?  They pointed that out and said it was most likly used for making alcohol.

Yes, but what they should've said is, "We most likely don't know what the heck it was used for, so we're just going to make up some stuff based on unsupported conjecture and pointless hearsay."

Oil tanker explodes off Philippines coastline

11.05.06 2.10pm

MANILA - The Philippine coastguard said today an oil tanker had exploded off the coast of Bataan province, west of Manila.

George de Jesus, a member of the Philippine coastguard, said rescue operations were underway.

Radio reports said two crew members were critically injured. There were no immediate reports of fatalities or the cause of the explosion.

The Philippines' largest oil refiner, Petron Corp, has a 180,000 barrels per day oil refinery at Limay on the southern tip of Bataan. No one from the company was immediately available for comment.

The Philippine Department of Energy was checking reports of the explosion.

So, what do you think will happen to gas prices over the next few days?

It's kinda funny actually.  Pice of oil dropped 1 cent today.  Another thing, oil companies make money when the price of oil drops.  Think of it this way...gas is let's say $3.50 a gallon.  People who don't have to drive say "Yikes too high for me...I won't get any now."  A week later the price drops to $2.85, those conservation people say "Ha Ha suckers...all I had to do was wait a while."  When in fact, gas was originally lower than that a week before.  Gas goes up again for a few weeks until those same people run out of gas again...small drop but still higher than before.  Not to mention you get the people who daily commute.  Bing, Band Boom...you're now the proud owner of a $34,000 shower curtain and a $74,000 umbrella stand.

How much oil do we get from them?  But then again...

I wish they would just stop bidding for oil for a couple days.  Price Per Barrel would drop...

I'd like to see pictures.

{Hey bob...next time you get fuel...Check both Shell Stations...sometimes one can be $0.10 cheaper than the other...)

You guys see the article about gas prices in Venezuela?

It's cheaper to get a gallon of gas than it is to get mineral water.

You can fill up an SUV for $2.30 there.

Fucking people.

Something makes me think the economy of Venezuela is such that citizens pay for their fuel in other ways.
