Dec 15 2009Forget Not Where Thy Petrol Floweth From

This is a little funny cartoon. Funny in a sad way. Like watching an old lady with a flowery hat on trying to open the door to the thrift store even though the sign clearly states, "Closed on Sundays".
Thanks to Captain_O!, who drives an electric car because electricity comes from dead witches.

This is palaeontologically inaccurate. There were no dinosaurs called Carl.
10. AaronZZZ - December 15, 2009 3:31 PM
@9 What about the Carl-a-saurus???

Excuse me! Geekologie people! Can you please delete this photo:
These are my dinosaurs, and my oil.
I am a pretentious little jerk off who thinks I am awesome because some whore let me take a picture of her death star.
I did not give you permission to host it, so delete it.
I shouldn't have to keep asking.
Nex time, I'm coming after your bacon!
........... just sayin

So what do you think

This is why all those hypocritical vegans shouldn't be driving! ;) lol

@13 I've been married to a beautiful woman for over a decade, they wouldn't buy it
16. AaronZZZ - December 15, 2009 3:47 PM
@11 ROTFL
17. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 3:48 PM
@14 Don't you mean 'Creationists'.... the people who believe dinosaurs never existed and that evolution is just crazy talk?
18. naas - December 15, 2009 3:51 PM
@13 And by "beautiful woman", I mean "repulsive whore." You know...because that's what she is. And after 30 years, it's getting pretty damned expensive.
19. naas - December 15, 2009 3:52 PM
And I appologize for insinuating that I am popular enough either in real life or the intrawebz to think that people genuinely know/care that I have been married, let alone any other aspect of my life.
20. mat - December 15, 2009 3:53 PM
Oil has nothing to do with dinosaurs or plants.
It comes from the core of Earth and believe or not - for that reason it's a renewable energy source. We will never stop to use it, scientist will come up with new ways to find richest oil reservoirs.
That is all, sad but true.
21. naas - December 15, 2009 3:57 PM
@13, 18, 19 aka the obvious fake naas who is so angry with me
have I really gotten thaaat inside of your head? This is great, please.... continue
22. IIIIIIIIIIIIITTT'SSSSS JAJA !!! - December 15, 2009 4:00 PM
Naas, ignore the troll haha. He's such a little beaner.
Just learn to selectively read shit :D
That way all insults fly past...
Not that I would call what this fag is doing an insult haha.
23. me - December 15, 2009 4:06 PM
I hate humans
24. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 4:07 PM
Attention Scientist of the World:
STOP looking for alternative fuels.... Mat (#20) says that oil is a renewable energy source.... all your research and scientific finds are wrong (according to Mat) and therefor nothing but pure poppy-cock (like second hand smoke & global warming) and a giant waste of time..... just sayin
25. brownie - December 15, 2009 4:09 PM
hahaha.. love it!
26. Sarha - December 15, 2009 4:10 PM
Gah this is hilarious... and sad. Kinda just made my morning tho:) I love dinosaurs!!!
27. AaronZZZ - December 15, 2009 4:13 PM
So theres a troll Naas???? That explains a lot.... And here I thought he was having a schizo fight with himself..... And @20 have you been locking your self in the garage with the car running for hours at a time or have you had a severe head injury lately??? because your theory about oil is about as silly as a gay clown inhaling laughing gas.
28. Matt-Zilla - December 15, 2009 4:15 PM
so my runs on dinos?
FUCKING SWEET!
29. naas - December 15, 2009 4:21 PM
@13, 18, 19, 21 aka me
Of course I have gotten inside my head! I mean, who else would be in there but myself...damn it...I'm talking to my self again
Why can't I just use this technology that I have infront of me to delete what I have written so I don't look like an idiot
30. naas - December 15, 2009 4:23 PM
@24 Global warming... You're a dumbfuck. You must be stroking Al Gore's wiener as vigorously as I'm stroking GW's
31. Dishy Dishyington - December 15, 2009 4:28 PM
Although it's pretty clear that coal comes from plants, it's not certain that oil has the same source. Its possible (albeit unlikely) that some/most oil is indeed geological and not biological.
But even if it is, the earth is producing it at a much slower rate than we are using it up. It may be "renewable", but we're still running out.
32. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 4:35 PM
@30 Oh you got me figured out, FAKE naas...... just sayin
33. naas - December 15, 2009 4:39 PM
@32 Please don't hurt me again with your slanderous comments about me being fake, when my super cool facebook page proves my authenticity
34. me - December 15, 2009 4:41 PM
@fake nass. would u agree on the term climate change ?
35. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 4:45 PM
@33 That proves you know how to copy & paste...... just sayin
As a warning, you should know: "You mess with the bull, you get the horns".......
just sayin
36. naas - December 15, 2009 4:52 PM
@34 "climate change" is too conservative a term...just sayin. I rather...just sayin...use the term "global warming is bullshit 'proven' by scientists as a way to keep government grant money coming to them"...just sayin
The cover...just sayin...of an Newsweek magazine in April 1985...just sayin...warned that the scientists had proven a "global cooling" trend...just sayin
37. naas - December 15, 2009 4:53 PM
@35 I want your horn...and I know you know where I want it
(Hint: ass)
38. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 4:54 PM
@36 I'm not even going to argue with you (FAKE naas), because arguing with you is like running a race in the special olympics.... yeah, I might win, but in the end you're still retarded..... just sayin
39. naas - December 15, 2009 4:56 PM
@...just sayin...36 Your comic originality is, in fact, comical in and of itself. You choose not to argue with me because you are a moron who has no argument to begin with
Now, please, tend to my wiener
40. skeletor - December 15, 2009 4:56 PM
i wouldnt mind a naas-teabag if you know what i mean, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more!
41. naas - December 15, 2009 4:58 PM
@38 Thank you for placing emphasis on "MIGHT win." It is humbling to know that you are open to the possibility of losing in the special olympics
That is all
42. naas - December 15, 2009 4:59 PM
@40 To properly get me off, please put sexual actions in asterisks. I.e. *pumping the shit out of your virgin asshole*
43. Closet Nerd - December 15, 2009 4:59 PM
@40 You can use the 'short & curlies' as floss when you're done with the teabag too..... just sayin

46. Sam - December 15, 2009 8:13 PM
Ummm... hey, I didn't make this comic but neither did the chive, though the fine people or person at "Abstruse Goose" did, just figured I would set a grievous injustice down the path of the righteous.

47. cabbo - December 15, 2009 9:16 PM
@36 So the fake naas watched Penn & Teller's bullshit on global warming.
That's one thing we know about you now.
Once again, global warming = real, man's contribution thereof? Insubstantial. No massive conspiracy, just a huge scientific cock-up and an attempt to downplay that cock-up. Global warming is caused by the gradual change in the earth's orbit around the sun. As we gradually move closer to the sun, we get warmer. Duh. Any graph of global average temperature since records began show this effect.
48. Apeman505 - December 15, 2009 10:57 PM
Err... Matt(#20)? Oil DOES come from plants. Where on earth did you hear otherwise? (It does not, however, come from dinosaurs.)
49. Apeman505 - December 15, 2009 10:58 PM
Oh, and it technically IS renewable... if you don't mind waiting millions of years for the plants to become oil.

51. cruise deal - December 16, 2009 5:15 AM
I liked this picture it was really amazing, it
shows from where the gas came as the
dinosaurs were came on the earth to
do something more.
52. pink text - December 16, 2009 8:28 AM
I thought oil came from mostly prehistoric plant mass.
53. Jaded Icon - December 16, 2009 9:51 AM
@ 47
Very correct sir. Unfortunately the cause of "green" living has been hijacked by politicians and crazies. So instead of ideal, meaningful innovation (like real cheap renewable fuels) we get more crap, but this time forced down our throats.
54. cabbo - December 16, 2009 10:56 AM
@53 and they're getting more aggressive with it, now that the main study was shown to be falsified. It's crazy. A few days ago I saw some guy on TV ranting about how everyone who doesn't believe in this greenhouse gas shit is an idiot. Later, he started losing the argument, and claimed that the opposition was being too vehement about an unresolved argument.
55. Jaded Icon - December 16, 2009 2:06 PM
@ 54
The problem is that they don't even want to argue about it. The ability to defend your science with facts is part of the reason why science is a cornerstone of civilization. The problem is when "others" take your science and lie about parts of it for their own interests. Then they tell you to shut it and not speak about it because then their lies would be found out. You're not even allowed to defend the right parts of you discovery so it is ALL discredited. It's really sad actually....
56. naaasty - December 16, 2009 4:01 PM
So, uh, are you guys like scientists and stuff? Thats cool. I'm relieved to hear that humans aren't the cause of global warming. That's a real load off. What happened to all my drugs? Shit man, I swear I just had half a joint lying around somewhere, but I think I probably left it outside in the rain again. I hate when that happens. Even if you dry it out, it ain't the same. What's up with that.
57. DanielAlien - December 16, 2009 6:16 PM
It's okay about all your whining about global warming, but I want to whine about the cartoonist skipping the oil-raffinery. How could he?!
58. kreebilicus - December 17, 2009 7:21 AM
...and the fact that the majority of oil and coal comes from dead plant material.
59. Dwindel - December 19, 2009 4:09 AM
Oil actually comes from decaying plants and vegetables, not dinosaurs. Hope I ruined it for all of you.
60. Name - December 21, 2009 1:22 AM
This comic was from Abstruse Goose. You should probably have that in your post somewhere.
61. funnyandweirdthings - December 30, 2009 4:23 AM
This comic is absolute amazing. Great idea.
62. The "real" naas - December 30, 2009 9:51 PM
I are true naas i think this comic comments getting into to much of debate, me think comic was good, but slightly incorrect.
on a completly unrelated note
Does anyone ever come to a page via stumble upon which has been tagged under humor and either don't get the joke or don't think its funny and then spend the time looking through the comments to see if the joke is there?
yours sincerely
the real naas
