Vin & Rudolf: Diesel
Wired.com writes:
"it's worth noting that inventor Rudolf Diesel originally envisioned his engine running on vegetable oil. When he apparently committed suicide by jumping overboard on a crossing of the English Channel in 1913, at least one conspiracy theory surfaced suggesting that he was bumped off by nervous oil investors.
Funny how what seemed laughable then sounds entirely plausible now. Interesting, too, that following Diesel's death, the engine was re-engineered to run using only petroleum-based fuel."
This day, a few years ago, Mr. Diesel took a jump (read: was thrown) from a ship. Tinfoil hat time?
Speaking of Diesel, i was lent these flicks last nite. Trilogy time with Diesel (Vin).
/Vin & Rudolf would make a decent name for a wine, wouldn't it? Imagine the label.
