This is from a while ago. I wonder if any progress has been made? Beat rust with a cannabis car 5/21/01 Sydney - Australian researchers believe cars could be made from hemp - the cannabis plant - within a decade. A team at the University of New South Wales is working to create a plant-fibre based material to make biodegradable cars to beat the growing problem of getting rid of rusting car bodies. Associate Professor Alan Crosky, of the School of Material Science and Engineering, said hemp looked more viable than coconuts or banana trees.

Though still a proud and strong man, and above all loyal to the Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club he co-founded in the early 1970s, media and friends agree Mr Hoddy was feeling the effects of constant attention from the authorities hellbent on breaking him. He was not the same man who thumped a cop during a brawl when WA police unnecessarily harassed mourners during a club associate's funeral in 2001.

Reduced to driving a car left unused when close friend Gary Ernest White was convi…

The system uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer, Middle East Newsline reported.

The smell is pungently woody, but that may just be the mold growing on the walls of this dingy hotel room in the southern Colombian jungle. Somewhere down the hall, a woman is moaning with increasing u…
