I looked up what a taco was in Google Images and now I want one. Also, how come all the filling doesnt fall out of it?

The filling does fall out. That's why you have to buy 3 or 4 of them!

It helps if you eat them over a plate.

My wife and I take all the same ingredients and put them on half of a baked potato (A "Taco Tater") and we don't have to worry about the shell breaking and spilling everything.
A cold beer and we're piggin' out!

I have an automatic garbage disposal which is quite adept at recovering foodstuffs dropped by the Gods.

Quick food tip - for tacos, don't buy the prepared taco shells. They shatter when you bite into them and don't taste all that great.

Instead, buy corn tortillas and brown them lightly in a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet, but leave them a bit pliable. Fold them in half and put them in a warm oven (~200-250 deg, F) until you have enough. They hold together and taste far better than the prefab version.

Now back to your regular programming.

I'm a high roller, I use canola oil.

And it makes better bread than olive oil.

I take it you know that Canola oil comes from the seed of the rape plant. There were concerns about marketing it in English speaking countries under the name rapeseed oil, however. There was a fear that housewives would shy away from such a name.

It's actually a very pretty plant with bright yellow flowers. There were acres and acres of it in Germany where it is a significant cash crop for food oils and oils for industrial uses.
