Unless you drill for oil to remove the subterranean pressure by getting the oil underneath, it will eventually seep up to the top and pollute your surface ground naturally.
Thus, bans on oil drilling are environmentally harmful.

Chirac wants to use "french perfumed" black tar on Arafat's body before he is buried...

"...and up through the ground come a bubblin' crude.
Oil, that is...
Black gold...

I also understand that the term Mummy was derived from something to do with a substance by a similar name. Whatever, I am sure there is a scholar here that will edumakate us.
Texans have the best understanding of petroleum and derivatives in the Middle East?
Heh heh heh heh.....
Some of these tarry seeps had been ignited through natural and accidental causes and burned for many years. They can cause heat and smoke and sometimes a visible glow to emanate from the earth, and are thought to have inspired the concept of "Hell" as a very hot nether region in the world of the afterlife.
Little off topic, but do any Freepers know how many Fossils of dead animals it takes to produce a barrel of oil? I'm asking this because I find it very hard to believe that SO damn many animals only died in certain areas of the world...like NONE died in Israel or Washington. The common theme sees to me to be SAND....desert and sea. Flame away!
I'd flame ya, but I'm out of flammables.

I hope that means I'm not NUTS....are these reliable people or just hacks like me? Do you think Oil could come from something other than dead animals?
Dead plants. Dead plankton. There is/was a lot more of those than dead animals. The trouble is that drawings of dead plankton falling to the sea floor are just not as dramatic as dead animals, especially for children's books.
When Pixar makes the dead plankton movie, it will become wildly popular.

I remember reading someplace that the Israelites would put tar across the top of their "Down with Pharoah!" signs to prevent them from being stolen.
