A German man has concocted his own blend of bio diesel.
A German inventor has angered animal rights activists with his answer to fighting the soaring cost of fuel -- dead cats.Christian Koch, 55, from the eastern county of Saxony, told Bild newspaper that his organic diesel fuel -- a home-made blend of garbage, run-over cats, and other ingredients -- is a proven alternative to normal consumer diesel.
"I drive my normal diesel-powered car with this mixture," Koch said. "I have gone 170,000 km (106,000 miles) without a problem."

Do you have to run over your own cats, or is there a delivery service?

Posted by: Nate at September 15, 2005 10:05 AMThere must have been some sort of misquote here - or a misunderstanding of a joke - probably something like, "Throw anything organic, garbage, dead cats, anything in here and fuel comes out here." (And he didn't invent that process - maybe he's made it cheaper, I hope.) Unless conditions are very strange over in Germany, dead cats aren't plentiful enough, but garbage is.
OTOH, if it works on cats, it would work on larger dead things. Maybe when they remake Soylent Green, it will be a fuel...
