Default WD-40 & Fish Oil

Received this handy email today. Must see what other stuff besides
fish oil is in WD-40. A bottle of fish oil would remove the need of a
spray can if fish oil on its own is just as affective. I know fish
oil is great stuff, but didnt stop to think about it being the main
ingredient in WD-40. Another thing to add to the survival kit. It would probably make a brillient lubricant for grinding stones for knives and so forth? Anyone here used it for any of the following? Pass it on to anyone who might find this helpful, thanks.

A lady got up very early one morning and went outside to pick up the
