LIPO POWERED
On Sunday I was having one of my frequent, odd daydreams, this time pondering how far you might get in a diesel car powered with the fat lipo-sucked out of my ass. I figured a few miles and then slated it for a later day art project filed in the “probably never get round to it” section.
And then on Monday I spot a story about a guy sailing round the world in a boat part powered by fat, lipo-sucked out of his and his fat colleagues asses. Brilliant, true synchronicity.
….. Bethune underwent liposuction and donated enough to produce 100ml of biofuel, while two other, larger volunteers also had the procedure, making a total of 10 litres of human fat.
This in turn produced seven litres of biofuel, which could help the boat travel about 15km.

Great idea about powering your car with fat liposuctioned out of your ass! I would never have thought of that.
If you fatten yourself up before beginning your journey and then load the car up with fat-ladened junk food to eat along the way, you could probably make a really good road trip out of it.
