This is a common problem with Apple gear though, I've heard. My iPod shuffle was mailed to me in a giant box filled with mostly nothing, presumably to throw potential thieves off.

Alkaline Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Really? So I've been running a "stealth" Firefox browser for nothing? I've never understood why people continue using IE because the main alternatives (Firefox, Chrome and Safari) are so much better. It must be sheer ignorance/conditioning.I personally like Firefox the most as i've had least trouble with it. I've tried them all at one point or another though.

I've tried them all at one point or another though.I use IE and that's through ignorance, plus it's what we used at school and it's only recently that I've had "use firefox" shouted at me.

Old Gold Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Indeed, Holburn St has been in a pretty sad state for a long time. The top bit would be an utter pain in the bum to shut down for repair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub7rm Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Not that far from the truth! Technically what happens is, when the plane lands, the septic tank is emptied by a lorry, and then the lorry takes it to a sewage works. Once it reaches the sewage works, it's processed to remove inorganic materials, and then seperated into liquid waste and solid waste (aka "fecal sludge"). The liquid is cleaned, chemically disinfected, filtered, filtered again and then pumped into the sea. The remaining huge pile of shit is heated up, sterilsed and compressed into giant "Fecal Cakes" and then sold to farmers to use as fertiliser. The farmer spreads your shit over the crops. You buy the crops. Eat the crops. Get on a plane.... Not quite, the solid matter is dried out and landfilled / incinerated. Its illegal to use human waste as fertiliser. However I think it can be used to 'condition' soil in its fallow period but it generally isn't.As an aside, Its not uncommon to see tomato plants growing out the drying sludge at sewage works, because of course the seeds pass straight through you when you eat one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Haha @ turdmatoes. Immediately made me think of that simpsons episode where homer grows tomaccos.

HateEvent Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 People trying to be funny and quote from a film but mis-quoting and, upon being corrected, saying that they knew what the original quote was and that they just wanted to change it (though you know they're fibbing).
