        My wife has this habit of asking me questions that sound stupid as 
heck at first blush, but she usually ends up stumping me.  For 
example--"What are marshmallows made of?"
        She asked me one today that I need help on, and I figure you guys 
are the ones to ask..  

Just what the heck is synthetic motor oil synthesized FROM?  Is it 
still a petroleum product, or is it something totally different?  Is 
it just a new way to refine the dinosaur juice, or is it something 
with plastics and chain polymers? (Which are still petroleum 
products.)
        I was about to give her my "you're so silly" grin, when I 
realized I don't have the foggiest notion!  I can't just look at the 
ingredients the way I did with the marshmallows. 

Sheepishly,
Scott
