bilby commented on the word humanure
"Humanure, on the other hand, when kept out of the sewers, collected as a resource material, and properly processed (composted), makes a fine agricultural resource suitable for food crops. When we combine our manure with other organic materials such as our food discards, we can achieve a blend that is irresistible to certain very beneficial microorganisms."

When the comment below was excerpted on the front page, it was truncated right after "we can achieve a blend that is irresistible." I was like, "I can resist."

To be sure.
Bilby, shouldn't that book go on the loony titles list (sionnach's, I think)?

Actually sounds like Specific Excrement to me. Bugger, so hard to get on that list, the guardian is as mean as catshit.

As much as I don't like to think about the concept of humanure, the fact that there's a humanure handbook amuses me to no end.

Well, I might have put it there, but someone said something nasty about the guardian, so...
p.s. Catshit doesn't count. Nyah.
p.p.s. The ad on this page was a Target "Expect More. Pay Less." ad for a Compost Bin. HA!
