The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

And, I thought Chicken Gas was bad...

You, apparently, can now turn your fat into profit as an Auckland man is asking

"overweight people to have liposuction so he can turn their fat into biofuel to power his boat around the globe".

Although the man is only asking for donations of body fat, I believe that this could perhaps, in the future, lead to the sales of liposuctioned body fat.

The man is also planning on running his boat on his own fat, but is hoping for more contributors to his "cause" so that he can refine the fat and convert it to fuel.

The man was only able to get 100 millilitres off his body, though, compared to the 3 kg he would need to produce 3 litres of fuel.

His boat, an Earthrace craft, is expected to need 70,000 litres of fuel to beat the 75 day record around the globe.

I wonder if the man's planning on paying for all those liposuction surgeries if he requires more than what's donated, or is the only reward knowing that it's for a good cause?

Step 1: Collect fat from liposuction
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profits

This sounds as bad as Piddle Power where it may one day be economical and ecological to piss in your car's tank for fuel.

Plus, it reminds me quite a bit of the Fight Club where they turned fat from people into bars of soap and sold it as expensive boutique soaps. I guess we're getting one step closer.

So, any contributors?
