I remember I was at this exhibition once with a friend where a company was proudly displaying their “state-of-the-art” water purification system. We got into a discussion regarding the features and capabilities of the unit with the company representative and during the course of this discussion, the guy went on to claim, perhaps going a tad over the top as he was to later realize at his peril, that you could connect “sewage water” to it’s inlet and it would still give you pure water. “No need to flush our stuff away then, eh?” was what my friend came up with almost instantly. Needless to say, that was the end of the discussion.
NASA has come up with something similar – well almost. A technology that would recycle your urine and make it “safe for drinking”. Would save NASA millions in costs and/ or free up the weight to be used for more important stuff like, well, astronauts!
Of course, some people didn’t need recycling.
he he… good one there! I guess Morarji Desai invented this way before!!!
U shud listen to the song “Intergalactic Laxative” by Donovan, it does talk about this!! To quote:
“You may well ask now what becomes of liquid they consume,
a pipe is led from penis head to a unit in the room,
the water is recirculated, filtered for reuse
in case of anti gravity, pee gets on the loose!!”
So life imitates art or art imitates life?
