Everest Poo Poo Platter

"Sherpa's team, during its month-long expedition, picked up 965 kg (2,100 pounds) of cans, gas canisters, kitchen waste, tents, parts of an Italian helicopter that crashed 35 years ago and remains of the body of a British climber who died in 1972... In addition, his team also brought down 65 kg of human waste produced by its 18 members, which it handed over to a local environment group at the base camp for management."

Fuck the environment - I'm not carrying 150 pounds of shit down the mountain. Frozen poop doesn't hurt a thing.

Breaking news update: "The Sherpa team made evidence that the most of the human waste is made by Americans by the evidence of the blood in the stool from their homosexual rectums." - France 1 News You thank France for this article!

"To date, no other container designed for human waste exists in this size, weight or strength," Sherpa said of the U.S.-designed bucket, which is 11 inches tall and weighs 2.4 pounds, and has an opening that is eight inches in diameter. =================== Eight inches in diameter. I think all my turds, to date, would fit through that. Queers might have to aim carefully though

Another positive for the global warming theory. All them turds will thaw out and compost and make a nice spot for a tree to grow, to replace all the rain forests that they cut down twenty years ago.

 "The Energy Bucket, from designer Stefano Merlo, is a bucket with a solar panel top. At nightfall the bucket uses the energy collected during the day to power it's LEDs inside. It makes a statement about energy consumption. I'm not positive what that statement is, but I'm sure it's clever. Almost as clever as the Energy Bags I created. Energy Bags are paper bags filled with dog shit. During the day they collect solar energy, which powers the turd's odor. Then at night they glow because you light them on fire. They make a statement too. A very powerful statement about your porch smelling like burning shit." http://www.geekologie.com/2007/10/07-week/ interesting site.

Introducing the Latest Technology for Environmentally Conscious Mountain Climbing: This handy-dandy little unit will handle human fecal materials like you've never handled them before. It comes complete in its own blister-packed theft-resistant shipping container designed for easy opening even by seniors with arthritic shit-slickened fingers. The exclusive Zip-Top opener works like a dream, gaping wide to receive its daily load. Notice the No-Spill rim around the receiver cartridge and its soft as a baby's ass neoprene gasket. A real pleasure to "do a dump" here. After "doing your dooty" simply push the "end" butt on, and miraculous swirling brushes sweep away the remnants of last night's Trail-Mix. But Wait! There's More! The exclusive pressure seal closes with the finality of a Scotsman's coinpurse guaranteeing no environmental contamination or embarrassing difficult to clean spots on clothing. And now, the real magic of the Shit-Squeezer™ comes forth. A tiny but capable solar-powered hydraulic unit inside compresses the encapsulated feces into small biscuits easily stored and carried, their weight drastically reduced by the elimination of incumbent fluids within the copral compressions. Notice the small valve on the side: make sure that you "aim" this away from people who would become upset at getting a stream of shit-flavored fluid in their nostrils. Leaving the "Biscuits" in the sealed unit overnight allows further extraction of fluid by the included solar-powered heating units. As an extra-cost option the Shit-Squeezer™ will emboss each completed "Biscuit" with the legend "Trail-Turd©" so that in the morning, you don't mistake the "Biscuit" for actual food, although the "Trail-Turd©" compares favorably with most survival rations fancied by serious mountaineers. Each Shit-Squeezer™ unit comes complete with a medium-brown speckle finish to camouflage accidents and an emergency overflow kit containing 12 see-through plastic bags with zip-closures. "Better Life Through the Miracle of the Shit-Squeezer™"

My, the news today is filled with scatological talk. I don't get what all the poop is: "..his team used a plastic bucket as well as a gas-impervious bag designed to safely contain and neutralize human waste and keep in odor." Invented a sh!t bag did you? Wag bag's have been around for years.

Part of an Italian Helicopter? I seem to remember I could make a joke out of that in the good ol' days.

"Dawa Steven Sherpa, who led an eco-Everest expedition in May to collect trash dumped by previous climbers, said his team used a plastic bucket as well as a gas-impervious bag designed to safely contain and neutralize human waste and keep in odor." ---------------------------- Wouldn't that make it a "Feco-Everest" expedition?
