Taking the piss

Go

Multibillion dollar project and the news media is focused on the piss.

hmm, the human angle eh?

I once invented a kettle-jug urine recycling device...

....but it was a piss pour idea.

No it didn't. The processor sounded a caution alarm when it shut down.

euh

Thumb Down

You /do/ realise that once its been processed, its just water - right?

Or are you going all homeopathic on us, you know, one molecule of ureic acid per gallon makes it still urine? If so, steer clear of that beer and bottled water mate, its got one molecule of cow dung per gallon.

>>"That's a third of a tank right there," said the weary space-station commander, no doubt smacking his lips at the prospect of a chilled beverage after his hard graft with the golden barrel.

I just laughed my face off

I have the solution!

As the atmospheric extractor is working, why don't they just piss into the air? It's zero gravity, it's not like it will form a puddle or anything.

(That's right, you better pray I never get my own space station).

we shouldn't...

Well, I guess it's hard to blame anyone for taking the piss out that machinery...

The Russians, as usual, came up with a simpler and more cost effective solution than NASA.

Just stick it into your mouth and "recycle". Apparently, there are other benefits too.

What's Putin knocking on my door for?

Paris - of course.

Little miss Heide sat on the shuttle throwing her tools away.

Along came a spider which sat down beside her.

And frightened miss Heide away.

Hmm, globs of piss floating around... Makes going to the bogs in a nightclub with a blockage seem like heaven, at least only your shoes and shoe laces get soaked in urine there, imagine...

On second thoughts don't.

Who is the tester 

Posted Monday 24th November 2008 20:53 GMT

So each time it's fixed, who get the job of testing that it's working?

Re: I have the solution!

Brilliant! You should apply for an engineering job at NASA.

Cheers!

So, isn't this the first time a project went tits up for NOT taking the piss?

OK, I'm going, it's the one with "Chronic Smartasss" printed on the back)

Glad to see that

it's phuq'd Stella's claim to be "reassuringly expensive" - the cost of this "brew" is out of this world.

The one with the plexar dome please - I'll go fetch a tool-bag.
