Ridiculously in the News: Inventor denies dead cat fuel story

First off, this wasn't the title on my CNN digest version. The title I saw in my email was "Inventor fuels car with dead cats". How could I not check out this article?? Then, as I clicked on the link to read the story, the linked article had been changed to "Inventor denies dead cat fuel story". Now, wouldn't you think a news agency like CNN, who prides itself on accurate reporting, would verify something like this before listing an inflammatory article title?

Anyhoo, I'm just glad the story was false and that someone actually has been able to create a crude oil from office waste (paper, plastic, textiles, etc). Maybe there's still hope for alternative fuels in the near future!
