Ew... or Cool.

Okay, I don't know which part is scarier: that I was reading foxnews.com or that I found out urine is power. This article talks about how scientists in Singapore have made a battery that is powered by urine. Now, I mean, this is a great invention. Think about it... I am sure that I can make plenty of urine for this cause. You know you can too.

But gross! I have a hard enough time dealing with that pee in a cup situation for the doctor. And that's for my health. How are they going to collect this urine? I am glad we finally (like I throw in a "we" to include me with super geniuses from Singapore?) found a way to utilize a resource that we aren't going to run out of. I am glad that it doesn't hurt the environment. But do we all have to pee in our urine recycling bins? Will we have one toilet for #1 that will go to our battery centers and one toilet for #2 which will go somewhere else? (I am sure that if we can find a use for urine, we can find a use for poo.) I sure wouldn't want to work at the urine factory, that's for sure.

I am happy this little invention has come about, but I still have a huge part of me squirming like a little girl and squealing, "Ew!!" And that's why I'll never be a scientist.
