Bheja fry!

This story as picked up from a tabloid looks like a story straight out of the latest episode of a crime thriller! 

It’s the 21st March 1998, the first day of spring, and four men are having lunch in a restaurant.

A waiter serves one of them some cranberry juice,  chosen for dessert. This man, immediately after the first sip, suddenly gets up as if he’s gone crazy, he holds his hands around his neck, he loses his breath, runs out into the parking lot, collapses to the ground and pronounces his last words “they poisoned me”!!

Steve Robinette, the lead detective on the case, collected the testimonies of everyone in the parking lot, including the final disturbing words of a man immediately identified as Stanley Meyer, a citizen of Grove City. His brother Stephen was one of the four at the table, and he heard the words spoken at the end of his life. Robinette is not one for interminable investigations. He performed a toxicology analysis, which gave no significant results, and he also spoke to the coroner, who attributed his death to a brain aneurysm, compatible with previous episodes of hypertension. In just three months, he closed the case file, sealed it wrote on the cover “death by natural causes”. Formally, the case was now resolved!

Stephen Meyer claimed that one week after Stanley’s death, unidentified people had stolen the Stanley’s car from his garage!

Now why is this so suspicious you may ask?!

Well Stanley Meyer had claimed to have invented the very first working car which could run on water! Yes, WATER!

Meyer thought that the way to get out of oil dependency was through water propulsion. He created a fuel cell, based on the principle of splitting water atoms into its elemental form, burning hydrogen to create energy and releasing oxygen, along with water residues, through the exhaust pipe, thus generating harmless emissions! 

After a few months he managed to develop his water-powered engine, mounting it onto a dune buggy painted with the conspicuous writing: “water powered car”! 

Meyer claimed his vehicle was able to travel 180 km. With just 4 litres of water, and nothing else! Forty-five kilometres with just a litre of something that cost hardly anything is unbelievable! Even now!

Stanley had previously stated that he had been threatened many times by representatives from oil companies from around the world. He also claimed he had been offered the hyperbolic sum of a million dollars (some even say a billion dollars) to kill all evidence of his technology, and that he had refused!

Now, that is a mystery we can never get an answer to! Whether it was an accidental death or…

There may be so many inventions which have been kept under wraps and many mysteries like this which always raises questions like how!

Now don’t fry your brain thinking about it! Fried brain or Bheja Fry brings into mind the movie Bheja Fry with the birthday celebrity Rajat Kapoor!

Now charge your brain with some warm water and sleep!

Good Night!
