It absolutely is. I know some restaurants use their grease for fuel, but I can't imagine there is a lot of profit in it.SlightlyEvil said:Isn't the theft of grease the plot of a Simpsons episode?
That was my first thought as well. And...is the laboratory-grown skin worth more or less than normal skin?Thunderous Cacophony said:Also, I may regret asking this, but how much skin is $350,000 worth? Are we talking a torso-worth, or an amount best represented in square decameters?
Just remember, you still need to pay fuel tax on it...because reasons. Along the same lines, my state is considering a mileage tax because too many people are buying cars that get too good mileage.MinionJoe said:Used to be you could get waste grease for free from restaurants. You could then filter it (easily) and use it as biodiesel.

But now, companies are buying waste grease for recycling rather than charging restaurants to haul it away.
Thus, the theft...?
you need to pay fuel tax because grease fuel is still as bad for the enviroment as regular diesel and the tax was invented to lower the amount of envirment inpact by discouraging people form using cars. so yes, there is actual, good, reasons for it.Schadrach said:Just remember, you still need to pay fuel tax on it...because reasons.
Oh thank god! I was scrolling through the comments and was astounded no one made that reference yet.Remus said:Cupcake, cuuuupcakee, cupcatario, frosting.....I want frosting too!
On the plus side, at least the skin was artificially grown, and you know, not cut from the backs of chubby girls slowly starved in a well to make the skin more pliable.
Wow, what an awesome comic! I love short horror stories. It seems that less detail in the writing encourages my imagination and gets me pretty creeped out.The Random One said:A human rug would be nice if it only matched the rest of your decor [http://emcarroll.com/comics/skin/partfour.html].
