Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car
Kelmar writes "CNN is running a story about how a German inventor has found a way to power a car using dead cats. Yes you read that right. According to the inventor he can produce the biodiesel fuel at the cost of about $0.30 (US) per liter. Needless to say many animal rights activists are upset by this development, and some are saying that it is illegal to use animals for this purpose in Germany."

Cue joke about "CATalytic converters"...
Mind you, the Brits had a car called a Morris Minor. It's nickname was the "moggie". Is this the same thing?
Does anyone know if Germany has any WMDs it needs to be liberated of? If not, when's the soonest the American government can give it some so they can invade?
I know I'll get modded down for this, it was a joke. But then again some people have had their sense of humour surgically removed.
A use for a cat? Who could have imagined it?

That nice purring sound of the engine is strictly no coincidence.

"Everytime you masturbate, God kills a kitten."
Woohoo! We can now masturbate AND power our car with the results!

...woulld be pleased.
Can the process be used to produce energy once for each of a cat's nine lives? If so, it should be popular with environmentalists.
input to 'cat' produces equal amounts of output with 100% efficiency. I've never had any dropped ASCII characters when using cat.
animal rights activists shush, this process apparently involves dead animals, so if they're dead, what will you be doing about it? Will the dead animals benefit from your actions?
In any case, many dead animals end up processed for animal food anyway.

Every experiment which ends in a big bang is a good experiment.
There are already plenty of great uses for cats.

Not to mention the inroads the internet has been making into areas not yet connected. More net users, more porn, more dead kittens :)
Petrol Direct are the answer to the UK's rising fuel prices - cheap fuel by post, with innovative biofuel products too.
Check out Petrel(TM) a fuel source made from a mixture of seabird guano, combined with the rendered down, fermented and then distilled corpses of a variety of common gulls, albatrosses and terns.

Marvellous.
Now I'm curious what a "live chicken leftover" looks like ;-)

Just as long as you don't ask to see the undead chicken leftovers.... *shudders*

Everything I need to know I learned by killing smart people and eating their brains.
According to the inventor he can produce the biodiesel fuel at the cost of about $0.30 (US) per liter.
That should read "$0.30 per litter". Typical slashdot editorial laxness!

I bet the inventor has a vanity license plate on his car that reads:
