It's not a stupid question. The Glycerin in the oil, the stuff that they remove using chemicals when they make biodisel so the veggie will flow unrestricted to the engine is what makes the oil thick. You can thin the oil down without using chemicals by using heat. That's how an SVO system burns unmodified fuel. This will save you money and time over making your own biodiesel.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but, what makes vegetable oil so viscous?
