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?
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!

A use for a cat? Who could have imagined it?
Oh I don't know. I've found them quite useful for my quantum mechanics experiments. What I do is I leave the cat in a box for a week and see if it's dead or alive when I take it out. Sure all 1000 experiments have resulted in death for the cat, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a statistical anomaly. I'll kill another 1000 cats if I have to!
no he wouldnt
... :)
yes he would
no he wouldnt
There are already plenty of great uses for cats.
...about "putting a tiger in your tank"???

Fill the box with urine and there's a check with your name on it at the National Endowment of the Arts.

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!

It's a little-known fact that Schrödinger's famous thought experiment concerning a cat was actually carried out, using grad students (they're cheaper than cats). He locked them in a tiny box where they were either awarded funding, or not, but he didn't know which until he opened the box three years later and they were all dead. The experiment is regularly repeated in science departments around the world.
Just call it Soylent Fuel.

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