If manure is an energy source, Washington DC should light up the nation.

"We call it Underworld. That's where Bartertown gets its energy."
"What, oil? Natural gas?"
"Pigs."
"You mean pigs like those?"
"That's right."
"Bulls**t!"
"No. Pig s**t."
"What?"
"Pig s**t. The lights, the motors, the vehicles, all run by a high-powered gas called methane. And methane cometh from pig s**t."

--Tina Turner, Mel Gibson and Frank Thring, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome"

There is NOTHING in Montpelier. You have to go to the big city of Barre for everything.

No, thanks. Boycott CNN.com. If you don't want to fund the left, do not increment their hit counter.

You'd think Howard Dean's scream ought to be enough to heat the entire state.

They should have The Swimmer and The Bent One provide methane. They could light up the Capitol.

That's nice: How much energy is used to heat up the manure? Probably more than is gained from the release of the gas.

"Mr. Case, do farts burn?"

"I guess so, they're mostly methane."

The foregoing is an actual transcript of an academic conversation between a group of Explorer Scouts and their adult adviser, an organic chemist, which occurred on a camping trip after a dinner of hot dogs and beans about 46 years ago. Thereafter, the scouts and their adviser immediately conducted a series of scientific experiments to test the hypothesis. Such experiments have also been conducted by prisoners in the Soviet Gulag. See Alexander Dolgun, "An American in the Gulag."
