Or stay.  I find your combination of arrogance and stupidity highly entertaining.  So long as you are here, no one else needs to worry about being the most pathetic member of the forum.

I can at least make a run at it, can't I?

Some bacteria ate quite a bit of the oil, oddly.

What happened to the bacteria after that? Where did they go, or morph into??   :unsure:

Sea animals eat them I think.

I don't think they "go" anywhere.  They don't really morph into other things.  They just split into other bacteria.  If all they can eat is oil, then I imagine they'll die off when there is no more oil.  If they can metabolize other forms of energy I suppose they'll stick around.  A better question might be "what kind of chemical do they emit as a byproduct".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, I assume they die off,  or remain and can survive. I do wonder if they can cause any environmental problems though, if they do remain. Any unwanted consequences? What ever the case, it's probably much better than having all that oil around!

Considering that oil are just plain old carbon-hydrogen chains my guess would be carbondioxide and water. Unless they are anaerobic that is.

You can be such an obnoxious retard at times. You are one of the two my least favourite people on Languish.
Go on.  We all know you want to share the list with us.  :)

THey remain regardless. They're down there eating the oil (and other stuff) which leaks out of the earth at that depth constantly anyway.
