Bill Gates Endorses Water From Human Waste

Posted by Soulskill on from the bottoms-up dept.

theodp writes: GeekWire reports that Bill gates is certainly leading by example, appearing in a video in which he sips "a glass of delicious drinking water" produced from human waste processed by Janicki Bioenergy's OmniProcessor, which can take sewer sludge and turn it into clean drinking water, electricity and clean ash. So how was it? "The water tasted as good as any I've had out of a bottle," said Bill. "And having studied the engineering behind it, I would happily drink it every day. It's that safe."

    I've often wanted to tell Bill to eat shit. So, there's something vaguely satisfying in seeing him drink it.

    Where do people think their water comes from?

    Well from God's tears of course.

    Would you rather they tested it on some poor mouse?

    I see your point. The correct lab testing protocol should be CEOs, then lawyers, then lab rats, and then finally humans.
