Disposable Toilet To Change the World
captn ecks writes "A biodegradable and self-sterilizing bag for people of the toilet-disenfranchised world (40% of humankind) to dispose of their bodily waste and turn it into safe fertilizer has been created by a Swedish entrepreneur. It's a dead simple and brilliant solution to a vexing problem. From the article: 'Once used, the bag can be knotted and buried, and a layer of urea crystals breaks down the waste into fertilizer, killing off disease-producing pathogens found in feces. The bag, called the Peepoo, is the brainchild of Anders Wilhelmson, an architect and professor in Stockholm. “Not only is it sanitary,” said Mr. Wilhelmson, who has patented the bag, “they can reuse this to grow crops.”'"
You'll sh*t bricks!
...and goes on to give it a name that five-year-olds everywhere can laugh at until they piss themselves. Presumably that's how he'll collect the urea crystals.
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change.

Hell, these things would come in quite handy during Mardi Gras when you're on parts of the parade route with no porta-johns.....
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Too bad for Nintendo as I hear Peepoo was supposed to be the name of their next gen console. It actually works with their current naming scheme too. Wii (We) Peepoo (People).
and here I am using a Mountain Dew bottle like a chump.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
This must be the famous Sack of Shit I keep hearing about.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
Finally, we can get those kids off jenkem!
Twinstiq, game news

You just say "Peepoo" and the sheer awesomeness of it digs it for you.
Wow, who woke up the Grammar Nazi?
How amazed would you be to suddenly find that you just forgot what I wrote and you needed to reread my post.... again.
No, but if you put a copy of Windows in the bag, bury it and when you come back in 10 years, you will have an old copy of Windows.
All this is missing is a title page and bibliography.
The teachers will crack any minute, purple monkey dishwasher.
Thought it would have been brought to you by the people who gave you Wii..
