Pissing around

In the search for something random and interesting to blog about, I came across this article from Wired. Since I recently watched an episode of Modern Marvels on the History Channel about the history of the bathroom, including the bathtub, toilet, and brushing one's teeth, the article from Wired held a special resonance for me. The toilet designed by NASA was merely one topic of the show.

I do wonder, however, if the technology for recycling urine into drinking water would be accepted by many cultures, particularly those in which religion and purity are strong influencing factors in life.
