Where does petroleum oil come from?

"First, why does it only have to be one way or the other? Isn't it possible that all three (or some completely different theory) could be responsible for some portion of the oil?"

Maybe none of them are correct, maybe one or more are correct.

We should have to at least read the blog post to comment :)

I think the major issue with the Gorey-esk artwork is that it looks so amateur. Almost as if it belongs on a box of children's breakfast cereal.

For instance, to make the gentleman on the right look "gloomy" they just shaded in some eyeliner and cocked his eyebrows. Without that, it might seem as though the gentleman was as gay as ever, possibly on his way to have some tea and crumpets.

Perhaps if they had chose an artist that could use Gorey's style more proficiently:

Some of us want to enjoy life, y'know?

I'm sorry but your argument does not make any sense to me (what's the connection between being temperate and beer?). I wasn't saying that meat tastes better than all other foods, or that being vegetarian takes all the fun out of life..... Some vegetarian foods (not so much boca burgers, more so eastern dishes) are quite delicious.... and I like to enjoy my life as well :)

Sure it is, because it's a trivial lifestyle.

Well, how is the troll lifestyle, Mujadaddy? I would suppose ya'll are mostly carnivorous ;)

My reasons for veganism center on factory farming. Come the apocalypse, pretty much all the available meat will be free range and organic (aka wild animals). I don't have any problem with eating such meat, other than I kinda think it's gross after 10+ years of being a vegan

As a vegan of about 3 years (and vegetarian for many more) I'll have to agree with you on this one.

I'm rather surprised by the quantity of negative comments on vegetarianism (maybe I'm just perceiving them as negative). The world, and its vegetarians, would obviously go through immense changes post-apocalypse; but that's no reason to trivialize vegetarianism in our current luxury society. There are good arguments for being vegetarian and "meat tastes good" is a rather weak counter-point.

Well, they do have something to protect. Check out this glorious function:

It took me a while to "decompile" the javascript with my eyes, but I think that this is some sort of new-fangled web 2.1 "Image Pre-loader" algorithm. With this type of technology it's no wonder they have such strict licensing!

When I was a kid (1990 or so) I remember getting what I believe to be the original exo-force toy... Like a gi-joe in an awesome robot suit! Am I alone on this or does anyone else remember these legacy exo-force toys?
