In Bizarre News..

A plastic surgeon in SoCal is being investigated for using waste fat from his clients to power his vehicle as biodiesel, which is illegal in the U.S. His office has been shut down while he is under investigation.

They say biodiesel from fast food restaurants smells like French fries when driven.. I wonder what "lipodiesel" smells like?

In all seriousness, this is a wrenching article - I am almost over the weird enough to feel bad for him. I think he's just trying to do the right thing. Apparently his clients knew about it and liked the idea. It's a tough call... biowaste is not something you want to mess around with.

(Thanks to Eve for this weird, weird article from the Daily Telegraph.)
