lol last time i made cookies they went stale, my mom went to my house while i wasnt there with her friend, the friends asks "whos cookies are these? can i have some?" mom mom said sure (knowing they what they were and i intended on throwing them out) she took them all, about 5 in total, my mom said she ate 4 on the way home, lol....needless to say it was a very funny situation

edit: but like said above, if you can run vegetable oil in a diesel i dont see why not other oils...

In theory you can run diesel motor with it but in reality you will find it hard to come up with the oil to do so. It is possible but thats like saying time travel is possible.

possible, yes (diesel engines have been running of all kinds of oils), practical, no. you would need way too much oil, and it would have to be super clean. i would stick to some of the more readily accessible oils
