Significant Technical Input
It's about time someone found a use for them

A German inventor has come up with the technology that will power your car on fuel derived from dead cats.

Christian Koch, 55, has angered animal rights people with his alternative fuel which is made from a secret recipe of garbage, mashed-up moggies, and other ingredients.

He said that his normal diesel-powered car has clocked 170,000 kilometres (106,000 miles) on pussy power without any major catastrophe.

His company "Alphakat GmbH", says his patented "KDV 500" machine can produce "bio-diesel" fuel at about 23 euro cents (30 cents) a litre, which is about one-fifth the price at petrol stations now.

It takes 20 dead cats added to the mix to produce enough fuel to fill up a 50-litre (11 gallon) tank. We're just one step closer to Mr. Fusion, the same technology used in the movie "Back to the Future".

Oh come on! This is a joke? Right?

If not are we talking about cat breeding farms to make fuel for $.70 per gallon? And that takes into account the feeding, housing and care of the cats? What happens to all the cat poop and used kitty liter? I think cost seems way to low.

But don't forget the decrease in energy use down at the Kitty Krematorium.

Hmm... a new use for Soylent Green?

I wonder how many dead deer it would take? Heck we run them over all the time around here. We could just "process" the dead ones. That would have a lot more appeal I think. Dang "forest rats" is what they are.

Geese too! We can't eat the geese around here becasue they got to much chemicals in them. Throw them in the mix too! Clean out the ponds. That would make many people happy.
