Fill 'Er Up With Human Fat - Forbes.com
For a time, Beverly Hills doctor Craig Alan Bittner turned the fat he removed from patients into biodiesel that fueled his Ford SUV and his girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator.

Lincoln (aka Ford) has never built a diesel-powered Navigator, and the only diesel SUV ever built by the Blue Oval was the Excursion - not a lot of those in California. This story sounds like a bunch of BS invented by a shady doctor who was throwing his medical waste into the trash, but he needed to explain where it was going since he didn't pay for medical waste pick-up. Why don't you do some research instead of reprinting some AP story? Saying "the investigation may go nowhere" is lazy reporting - the doc can still be prosecuted, and may even be eligible for extradition - but Peter C. Beller was apparently happy to think up a "witty" headline and use cruise control for the rest of the article.
