not completely absurd though–I have a friend with a biodiesel car. He gets the biodiesel from the discarded cooking oil of a local restaurant

A car that runs on leftover frying oil? That’s pretty amazing.

They fry breaded food in that oil, so there is chometz in his engine. Last year, he was worried about whether he would be able to drive the car during Chol HaMoed, as the chometz was sold… (the solution: add regular diesel to the fuel, rendering it no longer food and thus no longer chometz).

Thanks, man! Still funny, but important to have the disclaimer that it is in fact a hoax.

And the Ankcorn piece is hilarious. Good work.
