The Edible Race Car

If it’s impossible for a race car to be “good” for the environment, maybe it can at least be a little friendlier. Meet the WorldFirst F3 project, a Formula 3 race car developed at England’s University of Warwick: it has carrot fibers in its steering wheel, potato starch in its side mirrors and cashew-nut shells in its brake pads. The whole thing runs on a biodiesel mix of chocolate and vegetable oil.

In a small effort to make the car even greener than it already is, the designers coated the radiator in a substance that converts ozone emissions into oxygen

Now this is more of a question to see whether it is a bit of trivia but.... was today the first English cup final to feature two Bulgarians? I reckon it probably was, only because I can't think of another, I haven't looked into it.

I'm always suspicious of those figures. It's not like facebookers would be hard at work if they weren't on facebook. Idle bastards will be idle regardless.

I work with Brazilian women.

They all seem to have fantastic arses.

Yeh I reckon that's bollocsk.

I would imagien it's calculated something like

How much economy produces = x

How much time is spent on social networking sites for the entire population = y

Total hours worked by population = z

(x/z)*(z+y)=how much economy would produce if everyone worked instead of facebooking.

When in reality, that's not how it works.

Had you not gathered that already from your internet 'research'?

[mjmooney]

I'm staggered. They let Rob work with BRAZILIAN WOMEN. :shock:

I'm almost afraid to ask, but.... what do you DO, Rob?

[BOF]

He gives them their Brazilian.

Jamie Carragher was born with no bellybutton. :shock:

He suffered gastroschisis in the womb, which is where the intestines grow outside of the stomach wall. Surgery can fix it, but evidently it leaves you with a mean looking scar and no bellybutton!

[mjmooney]

Strictly speaking, we're ALL born with no bellybutton. They only get created after the umbilical is tied off.

QWuotations from the big book of fairytales, whatever next, blue cravat and voting Tory :winkold:

[Qwpzxjor1]

It is quite interesting how interpretation has changed.

Those editions were not all released at once, it is versions which have spawned from other versions.

Basically sums up what we already knew - the Bible is just a very long game of Chinese Whispers.

And probably would've been a much more compelling read as a dirty-minded 10 year old if it had some illustrations!

mjm is more obsessed with religion than religious people. Is that irony?
