.....oil is made from dinosaur fossils and plastic is made from oil does that mean plastic dinosaurs are made from real dinosaurs?

[RKDinOKC]

They are recycled dinosaurs.

[Bill Douglas]

if we put enough plastics into the soil will evolution be such that we get real dinosaurs in the future.

[pete3799]

Yes.

It's not, though... oil is a result of decomposed algae, peat and other plant material... not dinosaurs.

Those are outlawed too.

At least in Seattle.

Where they hand out free plastic syringes that get strewn about with biohazard sharps attached.

And street zombies crap on the sidewalks.

But at least no Seattle Sea turtle will get a straw up it's nose.

Popsicle stick, maybe...

If Seattle had any sea turtles that is.

[RKDinOKC]

So instead of dinosaurs it's...The Swamp Thing! aaaaaah!

If tar pits are petroleum from dinosaurs how did dinosaurs get stuck in tar pits?

I remember when straws were made from paper. And I'm not talking about rolled up money, sniff.

If we choose not to deal with the real problems, will symbolic gestures suffice ?

All that because of some phone survey some 9 year old kid did years ago?

Because of the beverage with which it came served.
