We're Living in the Future, People

This would be a great story even without the fabulous headline, but the headline really does make it:

Bacteria Eat Human Sewage, Produce Rocket Fuel

Whoo-hoo! Welcome to the 21st century! Have another helping of beans, we have to make it back to the moon by 2018.

Hmm, too bad it can't make regular gas for truck and cars. Maybe the prices could go down even lower than $1.89. I miss the $.99 or lower prices.

We had this martian theory all wrong all these years. We are they ... in the next millenium created out of our own bacteria and rocketed light years away into another galaxy. Maybe a good story line for your next book? or your November Novel. tee hee.

And who knows...maybe one day a couple of nerdy teenage boys might be able to make their dream girl out of a couple of computers and a barbie doll. Weird Science I tell ya!
