I could see this in the next Jame Bond film. They sold everything for the grand adventure. Ok, once done, then what? Broke now! Sell the boat or donate to museum?

Ok scary beyond belief is the word I found for these morons.

liposuction is what the big dogs in money and prestiege do. They are promoting an unhealty choice just to gain a retarted 15km? What is wrong with them?

Their stupid stunt will only continue to prove why bio fuels are just as horrid as the black texas tea they dispise.

Oh but it comes from a plant or a pig! It must be clean and good! They say.. Well I invite them to check out the refining methods and the crap they add to this supposed green fuel.

Promote awareness of the environment by racing around the world in powerboats? Are these people for real? And I suppose it doesn't use any lubricants at all in it's engine, doesn't pump any bilge and used no fuel whatsoever in being built? What a bunch of dickheads.

Have these people heard of sails?

On the face of it, it looks like a poor idea to me, but I don't that that having a poor idea
warrants calling them "morons", "dickheads" and "retarded".

There are worse things you can do than sail in expensive, pretentious boats.

Genius. They have found a use for "overpopulation". Now we don't need abortions anymore. Actually, aborting should be made a crime punishable by death, because if you deny us the fat from your baby, we shall take your own in turn.

The oil crisis has been solved.

I do have a question, however:

Quote:
Earthrace is fuelled on 100 per cent biodiesel and has a net zero carbon footprint.
How can this be, if the people who donated the fat have farted all their lives? Anything that runs on human is highly carbonic, we're a carbon-based life form afterall.

Well, all the carbon we exhale and excrete has come from plants originally that have
taken it out of the atmosphere.
That could be a closed carbon cycle, so humans, cows and termites don't really cause
additional atmospheric CO2 via their biological functions.
Of course, that's totally academic.
