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."

    Wasn't there a story on /. about a year or so ago about running all manner of organic waste through a refinery? IIRC, it's possible to generate everything from axle grease to alcohol by cooking up turkey carcasses.

    The Bild is Germanys largest tabloid and is well known for not always reporting overly accurate, to put it mildly.

    I quote: "Flying Saucer Shot Down Over Russia"
    Yes, what's probably the most popular publication in Germany is seriously trying to tell us that the Russians have taken down an UFO.

    The BILD's "articles" (which usually take up about as much space as the headlines) are varying in quality between grotesque oversimplification, blunt populism, sheer nonsense lacking any kind of relation to the real world and a mix of the above.
    I'd recommend only using it as toilet paper but that'd probably make your ass dumber.


    The scary thing about the BILD is that many people are actually relying on it for their daily news. I don't even want to think about how the upcoming elections will be affected by people making their decisions based on the bullshit written in this rag. (Note: I don't want to insult actual bovine excrements by comparing them to BILD articles.)
