//oh . . . just dog-poop ?// [marked-for-tagline]
also my thoughts exactly. |
|
| |
It would be a near-run thing between sputtering
effects and freezing. I would like to volunteer to be
absent at the initial tests. |
|
| |
Never volunteer for ANYTHING. |
|
| |
Thing is, you'd wind up with a poop which
consisted of a hard shell, effectively welded to
the pavement; containing a still-soft centre. |
|
| |
In picking this up, you would try to provide
enough force to break it away from the pavement.
Instead, though, you would just break through the
shell, splattering the contents. |
|
| |
Even if you did manage to pick up the outer shell,
the soft contents would remain behind. |
|
| |
Instead of picking up poop why not carry a package of wildflower seeds to sprinkle and beautify your community. |
|
| |
...so somebody else will pick it up for you? |
|
| |
Agreed, but sadly there are places in the USA where the
common sense level drops from the national average of
'very little' to somewhere just below 'none whatsoever',
and in these places the local establishment has been
forced to instite actual laws concerning the proper
placement and handling of dog excrement. Worse yet,
people who are somehow incapable of understanding that
part of the responsibility of dog ownership is making sure it
doesn't dook on the sidewalk, forcing municipalities to
devote public resources to enforcing these laws. |
|
| |
Much agreed on both counts. |
|
| |
That would be some dream! |
|
| |
Stop eating canarischnitzel at bedtime, [bell]. Maybe
change your reading material as well. |

There was something in New Scientist recently
about bacteria that produce carbonate that can weld
sand grains together into bricks. |
|
| |
Maybe we should work on finding a bacterium that
can vitrify dog poop. |
|
| |
Before or after the dog excretes it ? |
|
| |
Ooooh ... could there be a version for cats ? |
|
| |
[8th] you are a terrible person. |
|
| |
// you are a terrible person // |
|
| |
And you are a silver-tongued charmer ... |
|
| |
// reshape it first into say a letter opener ? Or ashtray, or decorative paperweight ? // |
|
| |
... or put an "i" in front of the name and charge five times what it's worth ... ? |

Cow poop is $470 per ton. I would venture a guess that
dog poop can be hauled from a kennel free but the
cost for someone to do so would be considerably
higher. Let's pull the number $1,000 per short ton from
whence fertilizer comes. If an average dog poop is
2/5 of a pound it will cost you .4/2000 .0002 tons
times a thousand dollars, or 20 cents per poop. Color it
gold and your ipoop is worth a round dollar. |

<linky> and, I like any idea that rids the lawn of little brown cigar-like ornaments (and cats, but I will remain resolutely digression-free for the moment). Another idea could be to gather them up, incinerate them, gather the ashes, subject them to tremendous heat and pressure, fashion diamonds out of them, sell them in France as a new high-end line of fashion jewelry and accessories. |

[Jesus....] if there is any truth in that link, then we are in
for a polar inversion. You know... Where the poles switch
and humanity as we know it dies out. My dogs crap in every
direction imaginable. It is just not possible that it is aligned
to anything, and if it is, then by Jupiter, we are doomed. |
|
| |
I swear, one of them nearly crapped in the complex plane.
It was that close, I am almost sure I didn't imagine it. If
anything, dogs crap from at least four dimensions, (possibly
the ten alluded to in string theory) on a two dimensional
surface that is the projection of four dimensions on the
surface of a sphere as per the holographic principle...and
that is all I have to say about that. |

In other news dogs tend to keep their eyes out of
the sun when pooping. |

I am sorry for your dogs. Mental illness runs in my family
and as a result the pets have always been eager to get the
hell out -- my dog when I was a kid would always shake,
like she didn't have a family, and ran away twice, the first
time to the top of the nearest hill where she waited at the
top of the hill shaking all day, I guess the instinct was to
find where the water was for navigation -- away from
home, and the second time we found her in a green house
of the local cathedral, next to the medicinal plants. That
dog also always used to spin around 7 or 8 times before
crapping, I assume now, getting her magnetic berrings. |

crapalatte is not an irresponsible concept |
|
| |
its environmental as it acellerates the breakdown of
semi- solid waste into a froth that may be readily washed
away by precipitation. crapalatte alters the production
process of said semi-solid waste adding an additional
reprocessing for disposal stage or an "Entertainment"
stage.
The Entertainment stage causes passers by and the
owner to pay more attention to the entire natural
process. How is that irresponsible? |
