United States uses 31.7 million Tyrannosauruses per year to fuel vehicles

Ever wonder How many tyrannosaurs there are in a gallon of gasoline? Someone did, and asked the question on Google Answers. The answer, which acknowledges that most oil comes from ancient plants, is that a single Tyrannosaurs "contains" about 460 gallons of gasoline, based on carbon content.

I then wondered how much gasoline the US uses in one year, which was a pretty easy answer to find: 146 billion gallons.

So, there you have it: 31.7 million Tyrannosauruses per year to fuel American cars.

Solution to Iran = Global Warming?

Two headlines seen nearly side-by-side on CNN today:
Global warming isolates Canadians in far north
Iran must face isolation over nuclear program

So, it seems like we're doing a good job isolating the Canadians, but not the Iranians. Perhaps we need to re-direct our Global Warming Initiative to a different spot on the globe, and we'll all be happy. Except the Iranians, I suppose.
