Poo power


Handy little car that runs on human waste. The Dung Beetle performs like any regular car, and goes up to 114 miles per hour. It starts up with regular gas and then switches to methane. If it runs out of methane and you can't poop, it goes back to regular gas.

My favorite part is the handy chart the article gives showing how your poop comes out your house and ends up in the car. Didn't they have a chart of how the food goes in your pie hole and comes out your bunghole? Kinda like Star Treck, aint it? I always cringed when they replicated food products on the Enterprise. You know Captain Piccard's Earl Grey, hot, was poopy in a former life.

Like the astronauts drink their own urine, but its been filtered & purified! Yuck! But they do! This reminds me of Back To The Future too. When Doc comes back & the Deloreon runs on garbage. Human poop tho? PU! Talk about fumes! Now when ppl say they have a "shitty" car, they will mean it literally! I can see this. Ppl in India & African tribes have used it for cooking fuel forever. They don't waste much over there. We are awful & wasteful. And it has spoiled the earth.

All this time I've been living on blues power when I could've been living on poop power.

Ugh. does you car`s exhaust smell like shit?

Cause those diesel cars that can run on veggie oil smell like french fries.

Will the future be like the Matrix..Millions of people will become slaves for their poo!

I once had a child in my class whos father was a manager of the waste treatment facitity in town. But if you asked the child where his daddy worked he would say at the poo poo plant.

Almost as good as the boy who said that he went to school, brother went to school, mommy went to school (teacher) and daddy went to the beer store. (worked there)

LOL! You guys are cracking me up, today. PAL @ "people hoarding shit".
Interesting, life imitates art, I guess. Remember in Mad Max, that Tina Turner's character told Max that the city was powered on pig shit. It would be great if we could harness that power, but, like many discoveries, or inventions of the green sort. . . is it really practical? Is the price right, and can it be made available under sanitary conditions?

I never thought of Captain Picard's Earl Grey, that way. Never occurred to me that it was made from waste, though I guess it could have been.
I loved that Captain Picard. Number one always seemed like a weasel, though. Whiney.

Now the new thing will be, you wake up in the morning and find out someone dug up your septic system. And, those guys that drive the poop trucks - they're going to need armed guards.

Man, who wants to hijack shit?

this reminds of the episode of Father Ted when they hitch a ride with Tom who's driving a semi full of liquid shit and he sprays them with it!

Heidi said...

My ex-friend`s hubby drives one of those shit mobiles! ROFL

He would come home from work, wash his hands, and dig right into dinner. No shower at all!

OO totally with you on Captain Piccard, Rox! And remember the Chain of Command episode when he was captured by Cardassians ("there. are. four. lights!!!") and he was naked for a lot of the scenes? Yeah...good times

I would totally kill for a food replicator.

ROFLOL!! You are all too funny!

Miss Tia that episode of Father Ted was hillarious!

Poo becomes the new gold.


LOL!!! Heidi your mention of bio diesel cars reminds me of the time when hubs got stuck in rush hour traffic & one of the cars in the crowd ran on bio diesel. It made him & many others very hungry.

Basically once traffic finally got going again many, many people, including hubs ended up taking the nearest exit & drove into the nearest fry joint. He said they were all extremely cranky & hungry. Good, just what rush hour needs, yet another way to irritate people stuck in it.
