(LM: Yes, I admit it, I’ve been drinking more than anyone should…but I didn’t really read this on BBC News, did I? Oh hell, I did…pass the vodka and the KitKat…and stuff 80,000 in the tank, apparently they will get me to Timbuktu...)Chocolate lorry goes to Timbuktu Two British adventurers are setting off on a journey across Europe to west Africa in a lorry powered by chocolate. Andy Pag, of London, and his co-driver John Grimshaw, of Poole in Dorset, were leaving Mr Grimshaw's home town on a cross channel ferry on Friday. They are travelling in a Ford Iveco Cargo lorry powered by fuel that began life as chocolate, in a bid to raise awareness of green fuels.

They are taking 2,000 litres (454 gallons) of bio-diesel made from 4,000kg (8,818lb) of chocolate misshapes, the equivalent of 80,000 chocolate bars, to fuel their adventure.
