Can the batteries run on cat piss? If so, maybe I've finally found a use for our cat. He can power my Ipod while living, and power my car after his untimely demise.

Wow, it just hit me. Too bad those batteries weren't developed 6 or 7 years ago. Just imagine how much power could've been generated over the years by all the piss on webmaster boards.

Well, no, they weren't. They were developed for medical testing. Other than the article title being wildly innaccurate, that's an interesting article. (I'm a diabetic and got a nice ride in a ambulance once because my tester howled at me over how low my blood sugar was. I've also had the damned thing's battery die on me. I can put the two together and imagine a very bad day.)
