Ozarkian Madness

– and this –

..Annelise Krauss of the Dresden Animal Protection Association blasted Koch’s new diesel though, saying: “This is as bad as experimenting on animals.”HERE — with — HERE

A German inventor says he’s found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out of dead cats… Dr Christian Koch… said his method uses old tyres, weeds and animal cadavers… They are heated up to 300 Celsius to filter out hydrocarbon which is then turned into diesel by a catalytic converter.

He said the resulting “high quality bio-diesel” costs just 15 pence per litre… Koch said the cadaver of a fully grown cat can produce 2.5 litres of fuel - meaning around 20 cats are needed for a full tank.

He said: “I tank my car with my own diesel mixture and have driven it for 105,000 miles without any problems.”

Good to know where you stand on this one. Thanks Pat-I wish you would have been right there with me. This was one scene that you, truly would have dug. Maybe next time. J-I'm a big fan of "Zone", the theme (Howard Roberts on guitar btw) and for sure, Rod Serling. That being said, sometimes truth is stranger than "Twilight Zone". Ovidiu-I'm glad you liked it. A funny thing, in my conversation with the guy, he was implying that he had been part of, I don't know for sure but, maybe some kind of big-time criminal activity. But, he wouldn't come right out and say it, this is when he would go into this gibberish bit. So, who knows? I may find out later that he was infamous. You are so right about; "I have also seen that sometimes, these not rehearsed, on the fly songs come out the best in such places." Sometimes it gives you an edge that the crowd feeds off of, I think. It's great when it works out. Gary-It has become sort of a quest for me to be a keen observer of these kinds of things so, thanks for the encouragement. Kenski-"Presumably if he spends his last dollar then it must be time to eat the cat?" That was exactly the first thing that came to my mind when I read the bill. Yeah Springfield has it's own vibe, especially when you dig a little deeper than the prop-jet set. Ric-In a word, Extraordinary. Knowing our common acquaintance, I can't say that I am "surprised" that you brought this to the table. But, I am delighted. Oderint dum metuat, ehhhh Palikar?
