I have a special airgun lube for spring piston pellet guns that occasionally
diesels a bit when it migrates. The smoke smells pleasantly like a grilled
cheese sandwich.
Wonder what creature gave its life for that?

"Save The Plankton - Eat More Whale"
====================================
From: RobBurn@xxxxxxx
I suspect the Zuiko lenses are more in danger of extinction than the whale,
so I'm sure some noble whale might be willing to sacrifice for the cause.
<g> BTW -- don't the Japanese still practice whaling? Isn't whale oil
available commercially from Japan? And/or other whaling nations?
As for tossing what you have, that wouldn't really help the whale it came
from, would it? It might make the "Save the whale, but abort the babies"
crowd happy, but the whale who contributed the oil could care less. Seems
it
would be more fitting to use it and let it make a continuing contribution
to
Zuikodom. Sort of like a memorial. Then every time some lucky recipient
clicks a well-lubricated shutter they could have a moment of silence for
the
whale who made it possible.
Don't quite know what to do about the stink though. Think tomato juice
might
help? <g>
