The Burr in the Burgh

Someone I know has in his e-mail signature this quip: I like cats. . . they taste just like chicken.

Some people are dog people and others are cat people. I must be a pet hermaphrodite because I own some of each. Actually I think I'm just compensating. I don't like dogs so much as I like wolves and dogs are the closest I can get. And I don't like cats so much as I like lions. You get the idea.

A few days ago, I posted a link to a funny vid of kitty cats doing wild and crazy things. So a friend sent me this link. It's about some German inventor who claims he's found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out of dead cats. My friend is yanking my chain.

But if the bizarre story is true. I don't have a problem with using cat carcasses for fuel. Set up a system so all the pets that are euthanized by veterinarians every day get picked up and shipped to the conversion station where the cheap diesel fuel is produced. Why not?
