La Brea Tar Pits
How did all that tar get in the La Brea tar pits?
———- from Rose Meade of Los Angeles
With really big trucks. These trucks, called “Gobots,” were once the rulers of the earth. They carried sand to the beach, tar to the La Brea pits and coals to Newcastle. Unfortunately, primitive Yorkshire terriers ate the Gobot eggs. Disgruntled, the Gobots took the time to build the pyramids but then flew away. The fact that all this happened when a meteor hit the earth is purely coincidental. While the Gobots were filling the pits with tar, they’d break for lunch throwing leftovers into the pit. This explains the presence of bones there. It also explains why, even though the pits are located in Los Angeles, no Mercedes have ever been found in them. (A primitive BMW tire was once retrieved, however.) This has all been proven, finally unseating the “giant grasshopper spit” tar pit theory we all learned in graduate school. We can only hope that before this planet is worn out that the Gobots will come back and rebuild it for us.
