There is no amount of awesome that will do this thing justice! The attached article discusses a round-the-world biodiesel boat race, one craft of which is powered partly by liposuctioned butt fat. Wow, a truly renewable resource! For long-distance journeys, you could have a sort of vacuum pump that you can administer yourself so you don't have to pull over. I meant "you" in a general (and hypothetical) sense, not you specifically. You, dear reader, your butt is just fine. But don't stop exercising regularly.


The boat featured in the video runs on a mixture of fuel from various sources -- 4 gallons of the stuff was produced from liposuctioned butt blubber (a hundred grams of that came from the captain's own backside).

This story is amazing!  I am hoping to get a bunch of cool photos in of the boat.  Good eye Jordan!
