Is there any benefit to that, considering what we eat? It's as appealing as drinking your own urine, which I know isn't at all unheard of! No thank you!! @Brett: LOL!!! @ Friar: EWWW.

Murray Moo Young. A biochem prof. I don't know what his present research is involved in. But 25 years ago, he was working on converting poo (the Human kind!) into edible food.

I'm not sure what that would mean, but it would revolutionize the sewage industry. Surely the zoo could get a grant for the 13 million. Compared to other monetary needs, that is not a large amount.

I've got a small menagerie of pets that could power the A/C in the summer, perhaps. <abbr><em>Ian’s last blog post..<a href="http://indigospot.com/2008/11/election-haiku" rel="nofollow">Election Haiku</a></abbr></em> If cars could run on poo… well… I’m not sure what that would mean, but it would revolutionize the sewage industry.
