Anton Peterka's Wood-Fueled Yugo.

Posted by Alex in Car & Vehicle, Pictures on February 12, 2006 at 2:05 am

From the website:

Mr. Anton Peterka along with his team, made his ‘85 Yugo 45, using wood and coal for fuel. It’s not a new technology, 125 years old. The process is based on incomplete combustion of wood: due to lack of air, gases are created: carbon monoxide, the main fuels, hydrogen and methane. That mixture of gases is as flammable as gasoline fumes. To get the car moving, it is necessary to "fill it up with wood".

Whale Meat = Dog Food in Japan.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Politics on February 12, 2006 at 2:04 am

From the news article:

Meat from whales caught under Japan’s "research" programme is so abundant that it is being sold as pet food, according to a UK conservation group.

A company is selling meat on the web as "healthy and safe natural" dog food.

"A quiet whale meat boom is starting," says the website hakudai.com.

Jerry Zucker's It's JerryTime!

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on February 12, 2006 at 2:03 am

Jerry Zucker wrote to me about his website:

A one-of-a-kind oddity, an animated blog that’s actually a micro-series. Described as a "saga of despair", It’s JerryTime has gotten worldwide attention in its short 3 months on the web.

Tons of fun – very well done, Jerry! Check it out: Link
