I was going to remark that a good curry beforehand then would no doubt increase the range of the vehicle. But then I noticed that the fuel source wasn't going to be from the rider.
Meanwhile, developments from Taiwan...... "A Taiwanese minister has caused widespread debate on hygiene by suggesting that men should sit down while urinating instead of standing up. Stephen Shen, Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) minister, said that sitting on the toilet like women do creates a cleaner environment. This has generated a lot of online debate, says the BBC's Cindy Sui. Officials are to ask local governments this week to put up notices in public places advising men to sit. While many women in social media websites favour the suggestion, a lot of men say it would be hard to stop doing what they are used to, our correspondent in Taipei adds. But EPA officials insist that it can be done. "We want to learn from Japan and Sweden," said Yuan Shaw-jing, EPA director general of environmental santitation and toxic substance maintenance." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19390785
Seems like Bill Gates is looking into toilet technology to help improve world sanitation. "Bill Gates is, in a manner of speaking, flushing his money down the toilet. His charitable organisation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for future loos that can improve sanitation around the world. At the Reinvent the Toilet fair, hosted at its Seattle campus this week, designs included a lavatory that used microwave energy to turn poo into electricity. Another turned excrement into charcoal, while a third used urine for flushing. In total 28 designs were shown off at the fair and the winner was a team from the California Institute of Technology. Led by Prof Michael Hoffman, the toilet they designed was solar-powered and generated hydrogen gas and electricity. They won a $100,000 prize." Where there's muck there's brass eh.... "The toilet is already being field tested in South Africa. Traditional flush toilets waste tons of drinking water and are often impractical in many areas of the developing world." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19271061
"While many women in social media websites favour the suggestion" I saw a sign in a S'pore Gents on East Coast which read "Please stand closer to the urinal - your long Tom is not as long as you think". Tom
