Inventor turns dead cats into diesel

A German inventor says he's found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out
of dead cats.

Dr Christian Koch, 55, from Kleinhartmannsdorf, 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."

Annelise Krauss of the Dresden Animal Protection Association blasted
Koch's new diesel though, saying: "This is as bad as experimenting on
animals."


OK, 105,000 miles (why is a German talking about miles?) is about
170,000 km; don't know what kind of diesel he drives but he's an
inventor, not an M.D., so let's say it's a Golf TDI, uses around 6
litres per 100km, divide by Planck's constant, carry the 2..... Holy
Cow, the man has used 4,080 dead cats to get to work! Why isn't the
Carpenter's Union complaining?
