That shark is starting to get a little to large to jump (Gizmodo)
You’re looking at the Toilet Bike Neo. It’s the creation of Japan’s commode-king TOTO and is just what it looks like—a toilet-motorcycle hybrid. That runs on human excrement. Wait, wha?
The Toilet Bike Neo will be conducting its roughly 500 mile trip from Kyushu to Tokyo powered entirely by the on-board biogas digester. Biogas systems use an anaerobic bacteria system to convert dead organic matter into a usable fuel primarily made of methane. This system obtains its fuel from the rider—directly from the rider, if you get what I mean. It runs on the rider’s poop—he just sits there, unloads, and rides off (hopefully with a step involving pants at some point as well). The system is reportedly efficient enough that it could run indefinitely were the rider sufficiently well fed.
Kinda brings a whole serendipitous meaning to the phrase “bat guano crazy”, eh?

Well one thing about it……..this ECO idea definetly requires the participants to be full of “shit” in order to work out.
I say something a few years ago about some guys that made a car and drove it across country. What was unique about the car was that it was powered by oil from grease traps. The end result was that they were arrested for driving the vehicle. That is how much sense all of this makes.
Some institutionalization will most certainly be required.
What happens to the waste? There’s got to be something leftover.
Has to be dumped somewhere.
Mass in.. mass out.
OT: you hear that the DOE was still paying Solyndra even after they closed their doors?
This bike is not the only thing that is rotten and smells funny. I say this whole menagerie in D.C. stanks up this whole earth.
Time to flush the liberal excrement
Friend of mine just informed me that this was already invented by Southpark. It’s called the “it”.
