Criminal Voyeur Hides Cellphone Up Butt To Escape From Cops

BoingBoing found this story of a cellphone camera voyeur trying to snap pics of a naked gal at a tanning salon before someone called the cops on him. This wouldn't be interesting at all except for the fact that when the cops came, the guy kept denying that he did anything until the cops searched him twice and found a cellphone jammed up his rectum. Did the cops confiscate his phone? Did they force him to delete those pics? How many megapixels was the cameraphone? The Smoking Gun coming up short on this one. [Smoking Gun via Boing Boing]

Energy Generating Turbine Toilet: Poop Saves the Planet

If the Benkatine Turbine by Leviathan Energy finds its way into homes, your bowel movements will be able to help generate free electricity. Using the same technology found in other hydroelectric devices, the Benkatine turbine uses the water that passes through the pipes in your home to produce power. According to the company, that means you could make use of the water flowing from any number of sources—including your gutter drains. It is a simple idea, but simple ideas are often the most useful. Plus, you pass off your excessive drinking and overeating as your little way of helping the environment. [Wired via Inhabitat via DVICE]

Thirty-Foot Trebuchet Fires Chicken Poop at Potential Thieves

A businessman in the UK has come up with a novel way to deal with potential thieves: firing chickenshit at them from a 30-foot catapult. Joe Watson-Webb, a retired showman, had the iron trebuchet left over from his days as a showman, and gets his avian ammo from the farm next door. Local cops have said that they will prosecute Watson-Webb if he uses the catapult to defend his property against arsonists and robbers—but what would they think about the other weapon he has up his sleeve? Watson-Webb is also the proud owner of a 20-foot-long cannon, out of which he used to fire his wife! More »

Latest by n/a: Pisses me off that he can't use the trebuchet to ward off arsonists. I can't believe the cops are so stupid that they would punish this man for defending himself. Ah well, do the right thing and come more »

MacBook Air Eject Key's Rumored Alternative Actions

In case you haven't noticed yet, there's an eject button at the top right corner of the MacBook Air keyboard. There's no disc drive, but you push it, something pops out. Somewhere. Click. Schwing. Poop. Some people say this key ejects the optional SuperDrive, but after countless—or maybe just three—days of in-deep investigation in cocktail bars and going through the trashcans outside Jonathan Ive's house, we've compiled a list of potential actions: More »

Latest by n/a: It's for ejecting the battery. There is no "inject" button, so you can't put it back. But seriously, Ctrl+eject will let you quickly "Restart", "Sleep", "Cancel" (for people who try in the middle of something important) and "Shut Down" more »

Street Lights in India Powered By Poop

Yes, you read it correctly: The street lights in the Indian town of Thiruneermalai are run on digested curry. As National Geographic describes it, the human waste from an area housing complex collects in a sump, where the methane gas produced by the "sludge" is used to operate a generator. This biogas produces 3,000 watts of electricity daily, enough to keep the town bright at night. And you thought ovens running on garbage were gross. A friend who lived there this past spring tells me it never smelled bad, but then again, he's been known to generate a fair share of biogas himself. (Just kidding, Gelf!) [National Geographic]

Canadian Astronaut Reveals What Happens to Space Poop

Can Japan's Cans Can Your Can Bran?

If Sir Mix-A-Lot was an ass connoisseur, the entire Japanese toilet manufacturing industry must be ass artistes, masters, professionals, virtuosos, and wizards. If you're at all interested in how your rear is treated before, during, and after doing your business (this is how they justified the article), check out BusinessWeek's feature gallery on Japanese toilet.

Poop Soap

Fun for both kids and the demented, this soap may be shaped like poo, but unlike real poo, it cleans your hands instead of dirtying them. It took me eight years of my life to learn this concept. And it wasn't even the first eight years! More »
