Hey, I heard this hillarious idea the other day on ifMUD. I remarked that everybody in the US is complaining about gas prices and illegal immigrants, and somebody else remarked that if we could only work out a way to use illegal immigrants as fuel, it would solve both problems. That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would make an awesome UnNews article, but I am kinda stuck thinking of a title and all that. There are a bunch of things to solve. I'd like suggestions and ideas or alternately, feel free to steal this idea and run with it.

One possibility I thought of for how we could use illegal immigrants as fuel is to bring slavery back and have illegal immigrants carry us around, at a ratio of four illegals to each citizen. Or we could employ some kind of alchemy to actually turn illegal immigrants into fuel. Any ideas? --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 18:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Alchemy?

• LOL Put them in the blender. Perfect. But what about a title? --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 14:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks like someone already adapted your idea for a different policy... —rc (t) 15:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

That's a great article. Do you think this one might still work though or is it too similar? --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 17:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, it's pretty similar...might just be better as an addendum to the current article. I don't know if the original writer got his idea from you, but if he did it's pretty discourteous not to give you a nod at least... —rc (t)

Well I did say people could steal it. --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 14:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
