A previously unused energy source

[Cobalt-60]

There is a source of combustible fuel we aren't using.
It would ultimately, be classified as a bio fuel.
It's fat.
Not that fat from french fries or even T- bones.
But the fat from...Cockroaches.
We can't deliberately exterminate them to save our lives.
So theres no end to the supply.
Roaches are almost all fat. That's the white slime that comes out when you squish one.
We already raise them by the trillion.
Put them through the blender and centrifuge and viola! fat suitable for rendering into liquid fuel.
Then your old diesel rabbit can dine on cockroaches instead of french fries.
Sorry if anyone barfed.
I was told I was too d*mned serious today and needed to do something about it.
Although they really are mostly fat .....

2. Don't forget liposuction...

the fat from one set of thunderthighs is equivalent to how many million roaches?

3. This is the kind of thinking that will save the world

I'd love to see Bush, Cheney, et al, after serving their sentence for treason, being made to work on this alternative energy as part of their probation/community service. I see them in huge vats of roaches, stomping away in bare feet like Lucy and Ethel in the grapes.

4. And so a new industry is born.

Roach farms.

5. K&R....

Just because. :D

6. But will the cockroach-fueled vehicles scurry off the road at night

when another vehicle's headlights hit them?

Another bright idea: :think:

My dog loves to catch and eat cicadas....and my entrepreneurial mind thinks...hmmmmm....cicada kibbles dog food? Maybe we can sell them to the Chinese.
