Thermochemical and biochemical conversion
First it was turkey parts, then pig waste and now straw added to the camels back. Thermochemical and biochemical conversion make use of natural processes such as enzymes, heat and pressure to create oil from garbage so one day landfills may become the new domestic oil fields.

Teacher freakout!
There are goofy news items every day, but once in a while you have some story that transcends them all.
Teacher accused of ordering student thrown from window is quite possibly the silliest story I’ve seen this year. It’s beyond the Onion. Teacher enters class and takes photo of students, one student objects, teacher makes a disparaging remark about the way the student looks and student hits an emergency button, then the teacher orders two boys to throw her out the window (where she suffered injuries). Best line about the boys “they threw the girl out the window because they did not want to be written up for disobeying a teacher.”

Back to the Future!
For sale on ebay:
‘You never will again in this accurate recreation of the DeLorean Time Machine made famous in the Back to the Future movie series. This recreation was painstakingly researched for nearly 5 years before construction. Dozens of original photographs, details, and interviews with the original vehicle builders and collectors were compiled to make sure no detail was left un-accounted for. All of the interior and exterior Time Machine components were made to last, but at the same time not damage the integrity of the original vehicle. (…) Motion picture parts replicated through archival photos and extensive research; working interior and exterior lighting system including the “Flux Capacitor”, “Time Circuits” and exterior “Flux Dispersion Banding.’
Update
“The guy who put up that Back to the Future DeLorean for auction is actually not the one who made it, and apparently he’s using the creator’s copyrighted photos of the car without permission, which previously resulted in a similar auction being taken down…also, according to the creator, he sold it to the guy because it had “a totally junked frame”. The info is here.

Well Gross
MrPromo is an Internet-based custom signage supplier to McDonald’s restaurants. You apparently need to prove that you’re a real McD’s to actual get an order fulfilled, but it’s really fun to poke aorund on the site and see all this disembodied greasebomb promo material and graphic elements.
