Well they are vinyl, so no elephants were killed. But we finally found a vinyl that can be used to replace these.

Looks very nice. With that said, how many dinosaurs were killed to make the oil which was refined into the vinyl? Hahaha!

Oil is made from algae and plankton deposits from the Carboniferous and Permian, long before there were any dinosaurs. There's also no fossilization involved in the process. The (false) notion of "fossil" fuel and dinosaurs comes from the massive 1930's ad campaign of Sinclair Oil with their dinosaur mascot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Who knew SirAndy was also a geologist? I just thought he was an expert in the identification and public shaming of scammers and poorly behaved forum members.... Those of us of a certain era will also remember the School House Rock cartoon that played primarily during the Sunday cartoons that helped to propagate the myth that oil came from dinosaurs. At a certain point I remember reading a poll of people from that era that showed that more than 40% of us thought oil came from dinosaurs. And to get back on topic...Many thanks to Mark and everybody at 914Rubber for yet another product option! |
