05 Dec 05 - 03:49 PM (#1620546) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: GUEST,Ed The reuse of manure, aka "your shite" is one of the most important cycles in farming. You mention that: And only SOME of it gets processed Nature has wonderful ways of processing it itself. No chemicals required. I suggest that you read a bit more and find out. Without animal manure, we'd struggle to grow food efficiently (without the use of chemicals)... Does that make you feel better? |

Actually there are some concerns about the run-off from of the hog crap from those mega farms ... it's flowing from the rivers and streams out onto the north shore inot Cumberland strait ... not too healthy for the fish industry, especially shellfish.

Odd to think that the farmers along the shore use to drag them and spread them on their fields... they were garbage a hundred years ago. |

05 Dec 05 - 08:48 PM (#1620819) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: Rapparee Back in the days when McDonald's posted "Over 1 Billion Sold" and similar signs, I tried to compute the weight of the excrement produced by the hamburgers alone. My thesis was that the Earth would become unbalanced (at the time all McD's were in the US) and flip over. |
|
05 Dec 05 - 09:46 PM (#1620844) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: Little Hawk Just like a huge burger patty... But for your theory to really "hold weight" I should think it would be more effective for everyone to defecate in one fairly small location in the USA. This would probably produce a local mass of excrement sufficient to collapse the Earth's outer crust. That would precipitate vast, cataclysmic eruptions, and the shit would literally hit the fan! The USA would be consumed in a methane-laden fireball, a shit-storm of unheard of dimensions, while the rest of the world watched with a mixture of horror, sympathy...and a certain vague sense of giddy relief. It might even usher in the long-prophecied 1,000 years of peace. Let's see if we can organize it. |

05 Dec 05 - 10:09 PM (#1620854) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: Little Hawk I had to give up eating prunes at all, starting about 20 years ago. They began having the oddest effect on me. I don't really want to go into details, but...just imagine what it would be like being trapped inside a diving bell with Spaw for a few hours. You would not, for example, want to strike a match in there. I don't know what happened. When I was a kid, I would eat all the prunes I wanted, and without any very notable side effects. Aging is really a drag sometimes. |

06 Dec 05 - 09:40 PM (#1621622) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: GUEST,Joe_F Rapaire: The connection between fertilizer & explosives is a notorious fact of life. It is due to the anomalous strength (badly understood, last I heard) of the triple bond holding together the nitrogen molecules in the air. That creates a chemical bottleneck on the way to life, for which nitrogen is essential -- but attached to carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen, not to itself. To pry the N atoms apart we are indebted to certain special bacteria that live on the roots of legumes, but we are no longer dependent on them, because about a century ago we learned to do the job in factories. The same anomaly means that compounds of nitrogen tend to be highly unstable -- the N atoms are aching to get together again and give off a lot of energy when given a chance to do so. So, if you can make fertilizer, you can make explosives. There is an enormous amount of artificial fertilizer these days (has to be, to feed our huge population), and that is a useful fact for wicked people to know. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: What sticks to the spoon doesn't get stirred. :|| |

07 Dec 05 - 01:58 AM (#1621710) Subject: RE: BS: A LOT of Shite From: Gurney From my grab-bag memory: The salpetre which is a component of gunpowder was mainly obtained from dried urine. Wine-drinkers urine was best. In China, most of the turds are put through the Magi-Mix along with animal effluent and other waste, and spread on the land as fertiliser. It is a valuable resource, but I wouldn't eat freshwater fish there. Do you remember the Big Yin's monologue 'The Jobby Wheeker?' |
