Exxon's 'Universe of Energy' tends to the peculiar rather than the
humorous ... After [an incomprehensible film montage about wind and sun and
rain and strip mines and] two or three minutes of mechanical confusion, the
seats locomote through a short tunnel filled with clock-work dinosaurs.

but Exxon has decided they smelled bad.
"At the other end of Dino Ditch ... there's a final, very addled

but the import seems to be that dinosaurs don't have anything to do with
energy policy and neither do you."

Some people say a front-engine car handles best. Some people say a
rear-engine car handles best. I say a rented car handles best.
