      I thought so too, when I saw the headline.

      Do we really need that much more heroin in the world?

      I know what I think when I see "weed" and if I find it in my garden I am *not* going to kill it.

    He said "You might think I'm nuts"
    "We can get hydrogen from our butts"
    "And fill our gas tanks with our tails!"

    If we could turn sewage into energy where I work, our weekly staff meetings could light Las Vegas.

    This is exciting - I think that between the public bathrooms and the grease bins, McDonald's will become an energy company, and start giving away food for profit!

    Ronald McDonald hereby accepts the Nobel Prize for ending world hunger...
