Who wants a slice of Stargazy Pie?

According to Wikipedia:
Stargazy pie (sometimes called starrey gazey pie or other variants) is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards [a.k.a. sardines], along with eggs and potatoes, covered with a pastry crust.  
Although there are a few variations with different fish being used, the unique feature of stargazy pie is fish heads (and sometimes tails) protruding through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing skyward. This allows the oils released during cooking to flow back into the pie.
Gah! The phrase "oils flow back into the pie" should be outlawed.

The world's first pee-powered phone!

This article is so awesome, I'll just give you some quotes:

Mobile phone owners could soon be able to give their batteries a boost with their own urine. 
British scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have developed a way of using urine as a power source to generate electricity and claim to have created the world's first microbial fuel cells (MFC) powered mobile phone. 
While many people might turn their noses up at the energy source, the researchers said that it is the 'ultimate waste product' and does not rely on the erratic nature of the wind or the sun... 
Dr Ioannis Ieropoulos, an expert at harnessing power from unusual sources using microbial fuel cells at the University of West England, Bristol, which was also involved in the research, said the urine-powered phone is a 'world first'. 
"No-one has harnessed power from urine so it’s an exciting discovery."
YES! IT IS VERY EXCITING!

Fun Fact of the Day


A "butt" is a unit of measurement equal to 126 gallons. So you could have a butt-load of apple juice in your mini-van.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's funny cuz it's true.

Men and women have different ways of cleaning a toilet. Women use bleach and rinse twice. Men just pee on the poop stain as hard as they can.

Sink Urinal?

Since urine is sterile, this is completely unnecessary.
Hey, why are you giving me that look? Via.

Dude, you stink! Go lie down.


Some people have problems with gas. And you are probably one of them. But when you need to let out a stinker, does your body position matter? If you’ve ever been sitting in class trying to do a “right-cheek sneak,” you know the answer to that: Yes!

Anyway, some scientists studied whether it’s easier to fart standing or lying down. So they got volunteers and blew gas into their intestines (don’t ask). Then they had them stand or lie on their backs (supine). And they measured how much they farted!
BACKGROUND: Patients describe that body posture may affect their abdominal bloating, distension, and flatulence, but whether changes in position have objectively demonstrable effects, either beneficial or deleterious, has not been investigated. Aim: To determine the effect of body posture, upright versus supine, on intestinal transit of gas loads.
 SUBJECTS: Eight healthy subjects.
 METHODS: In each subject a gas mixture was continuously infused..for three hours... Paired studies were randomly performed in each subject on separate days in the upright and supine positions.
 CONCLUSION: You fart more when you’re standing up.
