Taking The Concept of 'Bio'-Diesel A Bit Far

A plastic surgeon who practised in Beverly Hills, California, is being accused of using human fat liposuctioned from former patients to fuel his car.

According to Forbes.com, Alan Bittner allegedly collected the human fat and turned it into biodiesel for his own SUV and his girlfriend's car. He is being investigated by California's public health department.

Oh dear :lol:

Wasn't there something along these lines in the last series of Doctor Who...where lots of lumps of fat came to life and extracted themselves from the host to fuel a space ship, or take them to another planet? :shock:

Whats the problem - the clients ended up thin, which is what they paid for and the fat wasn't wasted - what else would they have done with it - spread it on bread?

Hmm, home liposuction:

1x Sharp knife
1x Dyson
1x Christmas cracker sewing kit

I could do with losing a few stones...

I'm not reading this thread until after lunch :) It put me right off dinner last night and I don't want it to do the same with my lunch :lol:

I hope there's nothing that might cause me to see my lunch again when I do read it :twisted:
