Urine Luck If This Battery Dies
from the not-that-kind-of-juice dept
Physicists in Singapore have developed a new battery fueled by human urine, intending it for use in disposable health-care kits for rural areas. The mind boggles at all of the other potential applications, though, and as Cellular-News points, out, could bring a whole new meaning to "emergency" phone calls. Think of all the products it could power, like the Sony PisSP or the Apple iPeed.

Gunpowder
It’s that how they came up with gunpowder (i.e. Saltpeter), many moons ago – pissing on manure?

Gun powder & batteries... Everything needed to wage a decent war can be found within your bladder.

Re: Food?
hehehe. A famous magician(among magicians anyway) by the name of Jay Sankey has a routine where he fakes eating one of those. He's a very sick human and whatever you do, don't make eye contact..hehe. Anyway, it's one of the best gags I've ever seen.

think of this: the first urine-powered porta-pottie, which harnesses the power of your urine to pump your waste into a seperate holding tank, preventing all those funky smells in the john!!!

It won't work...
...if you drink enough water to keep those ions diluted. You know the old saying... if it's yellow, charge the battery. If it's clear, flush it down.

Enter the Matrix
Based on the above startling scientific discovery and subsequent capitalization of this majorscientific advancement, the Wachowski brothers have decided to redo the Matrix. The new movie will use human unrination as the main power source for the "Source". Keaneu Reeves could not be reached for comment and has rumored to have been replaced by long time fetish Porn Star I.P. Daily.
