It's so Matrix-Like

Let me step off the reality platform for a moment and squirm over something. There is something deeply unsettling to me about the new eco-boat that is set to attempt a world record speed trip around the world powered by human fat. The conspiracy theorist in me also can't help but notice that the boat has a decidedly fleur-de-lis shape. Okay, maybe that's just a stretch by a sleep-deprived imagination. In any case, the ship is named "Earthrace," and considering its human fuel, the name just sounds like a double entendre - a race around the earth powered by the human, or "earth" race. It just totally creeps me out on every level.
