Ironically rape can be used as a source of fuel.

Well sure. Everyone knows rape victims emit methane. Same as witches.

propane tanks are used by folks out in the country who dont have access to natural gas lines. Not the same thing, though. OTOH, we also use propane to fill up the tanks on the 'gas' b-b-q's, but we never call them 'propane' b-b-q's. English.

We have a big propane tank out back. Cost a fortune to have it filled now. Used to be pretty cheap.

That's how scientists try to detect evidence of rape on other planets: methane content in the atmosphere.

Exactly. Back when those ancient masters raped whole worlds.

Gone are the good old days.
