The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsChicken Gas?
Looks like PETA will have a new item to gripe about sooner than I thought. According to SYN/ACK/FIN and 11alive.com there is a fuel called BioDiesel, which is made partly from chicken fat and partly diesel. In North Georgia, they are using this more environmentally friendly fuel to power their school buses.
That's just great. Now I don't know who to side with. If I say, "yay, something better for the environment" I'll be accused of being an environmentalist, aka enviro-weenie. However, if I say, "boo, using chicken as gas" I'll be judged as a PETA supporter.
Gosh knows I don't want to be labelled either way, so I'll just say, "I'm sticking to my over $1 a litre gas, wanting to bring back carburators, and ditching this air care thing" While we're at it, I want to wear my authentic fox fur coat in public, drink my pop in a non-biodegradable styrofoam cup, and bathe every neo-hippy I come across.
Have I missed anyone to offend? If I have, let me know. You're on my list next.

If all cars in one city were designed this way, would the entire place smell like KFC?
If so, I'd vomit.

Biodiesel is not just from animal byproducts. You can make it from veggie oil as well - and you do not need to use any petrodiesel in it at all.
I have a bunch of info posted about it if you are interested - check out ( http://greg.nokes.name/2005/04/09/alternative-fuels/ and http://greg.nokes.name/2005/04/19/on-biodiesel/ and http://greg.nokes.name/2004/11/24/its-getting-cold-in-here-why-dont-you-put-on-some-clothes/ )
Personal hygiene is VERY important. I fully support forced deodorant sprays for those - less then able to - for them selves.

IF the place smells like KFC, the half the population will vomit and half would be eating the whole time; either way, we're all screwed!
Samantha, as a loyal supporter, you can't offend me! Sorry to disappoint!

The only reason the chicken exists is because we eat them. Chickens do not occur naturally in the world. Without us, they'd be extinct. With us, they're food. Darwin is a meanie.

Personally, I just want my glass pop bottles back...

I guess that gives new meaning to "Why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes. Answer: because it was in the engine. :-P

yes, lets all do a little more polluting now, and a little more kicking around of the animals, maybe we can make this planet die even quicker and stump of the human empathy so we can kill more brown eyed people.
your a very funny cookie.. you really belive its a good thing to destroy the planet? I hope your children dont find out you were advocating the demise of their planet.
Peace and love from a neo hippie who can shower himself thank you.

I think it is time to look at methane as an option. There are tons of free range cow patties just waiting to be turned into fuel! Then we can all love the animals and our SUVs! ;) LOL

Expat - as long as that love sticks to eating them ;)

as somebody not too far from North Georgia, I can tell you that the process involved in producing the biodiesel costs about as much as the biodiesel saves.
but I'll still do my part by making sure there's plenty of chickens being eaten, especially fried or grilled with tomato sauce and swiss cheese: yummy!

You didn't say "us southerners" are inbred rednecks... Pssst Tobias- stroll on over to my blog and listen to Nature's Disappearing by John Mayall.

Better: in Carthage, Missouri, a company called Changing World Technologies is turning waste products from a nearby Butterball turkey processing plant into light crude oil.
