Now this is what I call the Midas touch

Hot on the heels of the tiger poo repellant, now we have the bullshit gasoline. The extraction rate seems pretty good too (.42 ounces of gasoline for 3.5 ounces of poo). However, I wonder about the amount of non-poo imputs required as the process seems to involve high heat and high pressure.

In a more disturbing turn of events, it seems that another team of crack Japanese scientists have isolated, I shit you not, vanillin from cowdung. Expect an uptick in sales for foods touting Real Vanilla as this practice becomes widespread.
