Can't argue with you on the first two points here because we don't do much hanging out together, but I'll respectfully disagree on the third point, at least until you prove me wrong. All the labelled Eschers/Thuringens I've seen say to keep it away from oil, as shown on this pic taken from the Escher currently being warred over on the 'Bay, which read "Be particular to keep them free from oil and grease."
I know, I know- it's not the best example I could have come up with, but it's currently the only one....
