Dog-Shaped Poop Composter

From our ever-creative, eco-minded friends in Japan, we have this snappy little practical item for $900 US: you put your food and pet poop into it, and it produces compost for your garden! Oh yeah, and it's shaped like a dog...though we don't think it will mind if you throw your kitty or hamster poop into it as well. And if you can't tell, we're going for a record number of instances of the word poop in a single post. How'd we do?

Drinkable Poop-Water in Wisconsin

Yes, you read right, kids. A farmer in Wisconsin claims to have developed a method to strain the water out of his cows' poop (or is it strain the poop scraps out of the water?) to the point where it's safe for humans to drink the water. Note that the photo on the left is what's left of the poop scraps after he removes the water.

Hmm. Well, we at Potty Mouth have spent an inordinate amount of time drinking Wisconsin water, and we've always known it to be "hard water" which contain lots of particulate matter (that's mineral salts for you kids at home, NOT poop scraps!). And granted, the farmer in question doesn't want to start pumping his poop water into state office water coolers in Madison, he just wants permission to release the purified water into the environment...
