Running on empty

Not much in the tank today, but I'll do what I can!

1) The BBC asks: "Is al-Qaeda's 'leader' in Iraq really in an Egyptian prison?"

2) Kottke.org has gathered some links/info about "the head butt" seen 'round the world. Apparently, some newspapers hired lip-readers and translations are available of the results.

3) Fuel from the Midwest, Not the Middle East tells about biodiesel stations in Ohio (from the Toledo Blade, via Motor Trend)

4) Did you hear about the guy who made a coast-to-coast trip in a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado, powered by vegetable oil? I found information from the company that converted the truck and also the daily updates from during the trip. This seems to have been a highly-publicized thing, with sponsors, media coverage, etc.
