Now THIS is COOL

Get this, these scientists have found “bugs” that eat “waste” - stuff we couldn’t eat or feed to cattle even on a good day - and better yet, they poop oil! Or a reasonable facsimile thereof. This is rather astounding if you ask me!

So, what’s next? Bug farmers who will create our Oil 2.0 (as they call it) by tending giant vats of garbage and bugs that are slowly turning into a vat of oil? Doesn’t this just beat the #$%@ out of tearing bits of dead things out of the skin of Mother Earth to fuel our cars? (Not to mention that we are going to run out of the remains eventually - and the buggies can just keep producing oil as long as we want them to)

What can I say - this article tickled me to death today.
