Putting the pee in pdf.

caleb72 · 07-22-2013, 11:06 PM

This will be great for me because I'm always told I'm full of piss and vinegar.

Thought I'd get there before someone else did.

I bet that if this technology comes to pass, some people will be pissed.

Definitely wouldn't want to have one ereader shared around the family.

This idea is all wet.
The P is for power, and the power is in the pee!
Will this support streaming?
Will this produce a flow of electrons?
When it drains, you can charge it up by draining.
This article is nothing but yellow journalism.
Is this what they mean by trickle charging?

Better than being #2 I guess, though there has been enough of that in the past I'm sure.

Plenty of room, no need to rush.

Having seen many a male's bathroom, I am a bit concerned about their ability to aim.

An eReader battery is a smaller target than a toilet bowl, and yet...

As for me, I always knew my pee funnel would come in handy some day.

I cannot wait to break the seal on this one!

This would probably go over well in the EuroPEEan market...

Greg Anos · 07-24-2013, 07:53 PM

Just remember, you'll be making an editorial comment on the book you're reading every time you charge the battery...

Greg Anos · 07-24-2013, 08:02 PM

And it adds a whole new meaning to pissing your life away...

From ereaders to peereaders...

I use IP (internet protocol) to obtain IP (intellectual property) and to power the reader... IP.

It will also create a whole new monologue for the Tonight Show.
