Renewable biodiesel from saltwater algae has been around a while. This was the original oil industry and was profitable for several thousand years.

To be absolutely sure about the dates, Mason says that he would like to see direct dating of the carving itself rather than the soils around it — a task that would require taking a small chunk of the ivory, and would need to be approved by conservators in Moscow.

And in the end you may date the ivory, but you would still have no ideal of the real date of the carving.

I read somewhere that it was due to a shortage of whale oil in World War II. that Automatic Transmission Fluid was invented.

It is certainly a fine lubricant, I use it for many things, guns, any place a very fine oil is called for, I hadn’t realized it but after 1990 Ford went to using ATF in their manual transmissions as well.

Where’s the 3,000 year old Greanpeacer inscription as the ancient whalers duck him into the Bering Sea like a large teabag?

In those days, when you dined out and said “save the whales” you had to bring with you an extra large doggie bag.
