Soylent Crude Is People!

The technology has been around for decades. We were only able to refine a few drops of oil out of Rockefeller, but current research shows that we could easily get two quarts out of George Bush and nearly a gallon out of Dick Cheney. Though pro-oil politicians, lobbyists, and oil company executives give high yields, by far the highest yield comes from teenages, as is well known.

It's hard to say when things will get dire enough to tap into this solution, but as gas approaches $20/gallon, industry execs may be dropping the last scruples they have to make even more profit.

This reminds me of a dream I once had. I was on a commuter train where most of the passengers were wearing glasses that holographically projected computer content. They were all sitting with their arms crossed or folded up to these large collars that were keyboard input devices for the clothing embedded computer. They were called "clerical collars."
