Just once, I want a news story where the victim is honest. "Yeah, Doc, I shoved it up my ass to see if it felt good."
I delivered 6 gallons of gently used cooking oil to a guy here in town who has modified his Mercedes diesel to run on vegetable oil. How fucking cool is that? HIS CAR RUNS ON VEGETABLE OIL! I should have asked him to see it. I bet his car smells like french fries.
Uh, then again, mine does, too. Sometimes.
I thought biodiesel was supposed to be as bad or worse than gasoline when it came to polluting. Which is such a shame.
He doesn't convert it to biodiesel. He actually just uses the vegetable oil. Not sure if that's better.

Oh, funny thing from this weekend. We were hanging out at a bar that was doing pretty bad karaoke. A bunch of my sister's high school friends showed up unexpectedly. Within a few minutes the quality of the singing had gone up about eleventy notches, and even the people just singing and dancing along around the bar were like they were in the freaking video or something.
My sister, of course, went to the High School of the Arts here. An acquaintance from the bar was all "what's going on in here?" and I just answered "Fame."

Bada BING. Love it!
According to the interwebs, straight vegetable oil (SVO) cars produce very few emissions. So, yay!
Both biodiesel and veggy-oil have the virtue of repurposing existing carbon in the biosphere (taking growing plant matter which took carbon from the air, and returning it to the atmosphere by burning) whereas petroleum uses carbon which was sequestered from the atmosphere millions of years ago and adds it to the existing burden.
Ah. So, in a manner it's recycling pollution, not creating new.
