Oil Substitute Made From Pig Poop Smells Like You'd Expect It To
by John Laumer, Philadelphia on 06.13.08
Bio-diesel powered vehicle drivers are not surprised when their exhaust smells of french fries. I bet the pig farmer who supplied the "raw material" to these government engineers is not one bit surprised that oil made from pig excrement smells like crap. And, I also bet employees in neighboring offices were not pleased with goings on in the experimental pig-poo-to-oil reactors.
After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things.File this one with 30 years of press clippings that begin with 'Scientists Discover New Super Bugs To Destroy Toxic Waste.' Know anyone who became wealthy or famous for their success with PCB chompers? We are too cynical you are thinking. Then explain why it is that famous-for-making-PBCs Monsanto never went down that path?

Pig poo - it's not really not how I imagined the green new world would smell!
Didn't you see Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?!?
Car exhaust from gasoline doesn't smell all that great either.
Nice hog!
(sorry, somebody had to!)
Or as I like to call it, brown power.
Seen riding the new "Cheney SUX2009," a Halliburton research & development scientist described the poop-scoter as"100% self sufficient," and went on enthusiastically about how it was powered by its own crap.

Actually, a green new world should smell that way. I mean, think about it; green, or to use a 70's term, back to nature, is going to smell a lot more like nature; animal waste and decaying organic matter. As a biologist and vegatable gardener, bring it on, smells right to me!
Much better to digest pig poop and run cars on the bio-methane - no smell!
