list a weird or random fact

Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, designed it to run on vegetable and seed oils like hemp; he actually ran the thing on peanut oil for the 1900 World's Fair. Henry Ford used hemp to not only construct cars but also fuel them.

 

Thats' a good deal.Say,drive to the country for a picnic,eat a nice meal and snap off a couple pieces of fender and smoke up!

 

Industrial hemp is a different strain from smokeable hemp...

 

Hemp contains only trace amounts of tetrahydracannabinol.

 

you can actually get a conversion kit for some vehicles that lets you run your car on vegetable oil. look it up..

 

You actually don't NEED a conversion kit torun your car on vegetable oil. All you need to do is heat it to 100F to reduce the viscosity and it will flow through the injectors and burn exactly like deisel fuel. Anyone with a minimum of mechanical knowledge should be able to figure out how to do this to their particular car without giving away money to someone. If you can't bring me the car and I'll show you free of charge.

 

And if vegetable oil didn't cost more than diesel it'd be worth it, too.

 

well of course.. but who nobody would go through all the trouble to do that anyways.. i was just saying..

 

Hey--it was just a lame joke.

 

Not if it's waste vegetable oil (WVO) that you can get free from restaurants. Run it through a paint strainer, heat it up a little, 28-30 MPG, zero flourocarbons, zero pollution, zero environmental impact, all it costs is an hour or two per week. Actually it's positive environmental impact since theoil isn'tbeing dumped down a drain or storm drain someplace.

If just makes your exhaust smell like french fries.

 

PUCKMAN. For anyone who does not know, this is the original name for Pacman. But they changed it when it came to America for fear that they would change the letter P to an F by scratching out part of the P.

 

yes quite popular at the moment. A certain regular to this forum has a mother with a bio-deisel vehical.

 

Yep, the guy who delivers our bread drives a truck that runs entirely on vegetable oil. He's in the perfect business to do it, too, since he drives all over the area, delivering to food service places. Spends two hours a week straining it in his basement and his house always smells of food. What a life. Haha.

 

The Victory symphony is better known as Beethoven's fifth (in C minor)


The first four notes sound like morse code (dot-dot-dot-dash) for "V"

My mommy Too bad she was in her 'gardening trance' on saturday or she would have talked your ear off about that damn car! I am jealous though. We have almost the same commute yet she only fills up once a week.

 

Your mom sounds hot.

 

The alphabet song is to the same tune as twinkle twinkle little star.




Bet you just sung them out loud now right?

 

But you took the time to actually measure it out....

Cool.

We'll call this one a 'rough random fact'.

 

The female cat is obviously a transvestite....or not completely orange.

 

It turns out that there was no difference between your ass and a hole in the ground after all.
