Wow, look at this horrendous mess. It’s the new VW Bus. It’s totally a MiniVan with vintage VW Bus design elements. It’s a little cute I guess. But it’s totally the picture of the “Hippie turned Yuppie” if ya ax me. More pics here.

This in today, from Punxsutawney Phil: it’s an early spring this year! Run and tell THAT to the Northeast! Punxsutawney Phil emerged just after dawn on Groundhog Day to make his 125th annual weather forecast in front of a smaller-than-usual crowd who braved muddy, icy conditions to hear his handlers reveal that he had not [...]

So check this out. Apparently UK-based Cella Energy has created a hydrogen-based, synthetic gasoline that has no carbon emissions. Oh, and it can go in our cars right now. From the article:

UK-based Cella Energy has developed a synthetic fuel that could lead to US$1.50 per gallon gasoline. Apart from promising a future transportation fuel with a stable price regardless of oil prices, the fuel is hydrogen based and produces no carbon emissions when burned. The technology is based on complex hydrides, and has been developed over a four year top secret program at the prestigious Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford. Early indications are that the fuel can be used in existing internal combustion engined vehicles without engine modification.

At first I was like, “wha? This is a joke.” Then I did a little research and found some uber-science guys delving into the chemistry and all that shit. So it appears to be a bit more serious.

Can it be true? Just think how great that would be. (Anyone care to find me The Onion originator article or assure me that this might, indeed, be true?)
