This is like seeing a train barreling down on something caught on the tracks.

You know it's going to be a train wreck.

You know it's going to hurt.

But you just can't stop looking.

Alright, forget about the oil itself, that lashing will continue regardless. Here is something to ponder...

Can the same derricks used to drill for dino oil be used to drill for synthetic oil ?

Also, if I own the mineral rights on my property, does that include synthetic oil as well ?

If oil comes from dinosaurs and plastic is made from oil and toy dinosaurs are made of plastic, does that mean toy dinosaurs are made from real dinosaurs...?

Thought I would just check back to see how out of hand this oil thread got! I have to say, everyone must be burnt out cause it's not that bad!!! I expected far more sarcasm, immaturity and slandering then what is here! I see where the 100% oil change had to work it's way in there but not bad, not bad at all!! Does that mean we have grown up or just burn out? Hmmmm, now what to bitch about and who to pick on???

Tony, it is almost like you are trying to stir the pot here. Once that happens then some people get all butt hurt.
