poopy power!

a dog park in cambridge, massachusetts has a lightpost powered by poop. yeah, you read that right.

patrons of the park deposit dog doody into the airtight methane digester, which  produces methane gas when stirred, which is burned in the old-timey lightpost next to it. the dog park stays lit, animal waste stays out of landfills, and the dangerous methane stays out of the atmosphere. how's that for the coolest science project ever?

dogs eat the darndest things

guaranteed to be the awesomest x-ray you'll see all day:
snowy the dog managed to swallow five toys in the shape of cats, resulting in (i'm guessing) a wicked stomach ache and expensive surgery.

and talk about a crapload of money: a "lucky" pooper scooper found $58 in a pile of doggie doo. he even went beyond the call of doody by cleaning it off and giving it back to the dog's owners.

even more bizarre: the dog originally swallowed three 20s.

what's the weirdest thing your dog's eaten?
