Since people now swill the stuff, wash their hair with it. and even use it as a disinfectant (if you reacal, Monica used Chandler's to get rid of a nasty jellyfish sting, but since they ended up marrying each other a few seasons later, that was probably golden shower-related foreplay more than anything else), it makes sense that scientists have now figured out a way to power your car with urine. Yes, one day soon, your pee might make your Prius even greener -- well, a lighter green to be exact. How so? According to , a scientist at Ohio University, Garardine Botte, has "developed a catalyst capable of extracting hydrogen from urine." Said hydrogen would then be used to start your car.

Maybe because it's Christmas Eve Day so nobody at the SFPD is getting back to us. But we'll just put this out there and perhaps you, dear readers, can confirm? A tipster tells us that a "portapotty [was] set ablaze at washington btwn polk and larkin" last night. True? We hope not. Or maybe kind of. Really, this story tickles us. Because we're five. Anyway, this would make the 13th portable toilet to get torched since November.

For at the seventh time since November, a port-o-potty was set on fire in San Francisco this morning, according to the fire department. This most recent portable blaze, all of them happening in or near Russian Hill, went up on Taylor Street near Union and Filbert at 12:45 a.m. this morning. No one was injured. SFPD asked to eyewitnesses to report any suspicious porta-potty activity to the police department at 415-553-0123. No matter how funny all this is.

We'd belying if we said that this budding news story doesn't tickle us. It does. Very much so. See, the SF Port-o-potty Arsonist has struck again. It seems the charred remains (hee!) of a portable toilet were, yet again, found on Sunday morning, this time at the intersection of Jackson and Franklin streets in Pacific Heights. SFPD are still on the lookout for a serial port-o-potty arsonist. The toilet infernos, which happen at night and injure no one, haven't caused any serious damage. The last potty blaze hapened on December 6 on teh 1500 block of Vallejo Street.
