Propane
Random information that Nickie and I were wondering about...
Propane, where does it come from? I figured oil in some manner or another, like all fossil fuels (well, with the exception of coal), but propane isn't made for its own sake, but a by-product of processing natural gas and refining petroleum.
AND, propane itself doesn't smell at all, but there's an odorant added so you don't blow the shit out of your house after leaving the barbecue on.
So like, lesson for the day. Don't blow yourself up.

...there was something else I was wondering about too... oh well, I'm sure it'll hit me again later.
Edit: continuing on the dorkiness, methane = main part of natural gas. Ethane is the second largest component.
Not going any further, because I'm bored.
