Okay, is this for real, or something from The Onion?

"Eco-thinkers have come up with an amazing new way to create drinking water - by putting plants in the bottom of a shower.

Designers Jun Yasumoto, Vincent Vandenbrouk, Olivier Pigasse, and Alban Le Henry came up with the concept when looking for new ways to recycle precious H2O.

After you have washed in the special eco-shower the water passes down into a series of physical filters and is treated by plants such as reeds and rushes growing around your feet."

Can't you just hardly wait for the prototype to be built?

my wife is probably not going to like it. I had a night blooming cirrus in our shower all winter (so it wouldn't freeze) and she hated it.

For news items (not necessarily political) that strike you speechless but you just gotta pass along anyway.

RNC seeks to overturn ban on direct corporate donations to candidates
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')mboldened by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is seeking to increase the influence corporations have over funding American politics.

In a brief filed Tuesday afternoon to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, the RNC is seeking to overturn a 1908 law banning corporations from directly giving money to candidates, calling it unconstitutional.

[Ferretlover]

Since when do the Republicans get to decide what is or isn't constituttional? Oh ... I forgot. They're politicians...

[PrestonSturges]

The word I'm thinking of is "bribery."

And this is another example of how the Constititutional "Originalists" and "Strict Constructionists" are a profound threat to our rights. Their argument would be that since the Founders did not mention this in the Constitution, then clearly they intended for politicians to take cash payments. This is why Libertarianism is a Trojan Horse for the destruction of America. Suppose you have a lawsuit, and on the day of your hearing the other guy hands the judge a paper bag full of cash and says "Here's a campaign contribution."

[SeaGypsy]

and legally! How cool is that? The USA instantly becomes a proper 3rd world country!
