Gilligan's Island has the last laugh

This just in. Baylor University has found a way to use coconut husks for car parts. It is intended for farmers in poor coastal regions but who's to say it won't/shouldn't spread.

The first thing that popped into my mind was the car/golf cart that the castaways used on Gilligan's Island. Little did we know that the idea would be resurrected as a path to a greener car. 

I'm sure there's some appropriate saying about truth and fiction but I can't remember it now.
