My house will run on pee whether it's practical or not. How great will it be to tell people to take a wee so you could get back to your LAN party?

Emergency kit?!?! I say seperate the urinals from the other toilets and let that power buildings, etc. Lower our freaking electricity bills! They're ridiculous nowadays.Long drive traveling? Welcome to the new Hybrid cars...no need to pull over for a rest-stop, just pee into the bed-pan...er seat and there you go! Better/cheaper mileage! HA! Eat that oil-companies! I'll pee my way to success!
