Just a scary thought... At some point in the process, you're just a lump of coal. What happens if you piss her off and she changes her mind midway? That could bring new meaning to the term "heated discussion".

For example, people who have been treated with chemotherapy usually wind up being diamonds of lighter colors. /i>
That is quite fascinating.

Hey! Close your <i> tag!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Well, ok, but I'm not sure how this is some kind of 'green' thing though. The corpse has already been transformed to carbon (no doubt with the release of copious greenhouse gases in the process) so the service does nothing in itself to spare the land needed for burial. And then it adds a further dollop of greenhouse emissions rearranging the carbon atoms at high temperatures and pressures over a period of months.

What irks me the most is if we stopped putting people in leak-proof everlasting coffins and marking graves with elaborate tombstones, there would BE no cemetery problem

To spend exorbitant amounts of money to convert cremated remains into a trinket for someone to carry around.
There isn't anything earth shattering in this process. We are basically Carbon, Diamonds are basically Carbon. The difference is density. People may call you dense now, so you may be part way on the way. Note that the expense increases the size of the diamond. Since reducing the density would make the carbon "not diamond", it implicitly does not convert "you" into a diamond, just part of you and the rest is dumped unless huge amounts of money is spent. Since some people are smaller than others, it implies that some diamonds may only be partly you and some other carbon.
Diamonds are NOT forever, they can burn just like other carbon sources can. Now carbon on the other hand...

Huh, the next entry is about human re-use, but instead uses the H2O in still living people's excess material. You'd think it would be easier to recover it from the excess that comes out the front.

With the Janicki Omniprocessor, the Gates Foundation thinks it's found the best way to do it, converting sewer sludge into water, electricity, and sterile ash that can be used as fertilizer. Next, let's see him eat something made out of old versions of Windows.

Do you have any idea what can we do out of old versions of Windows? I can't imagine. Sometimes even new versions of Windows are useless...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Does the Janicki Omniprocessor run on Windows?

What strikes me much more about that video is how old Bill is getting. He looks like someones grandfather now.

It sure beats the alternative!

I know, I saw him the other day and I was like, "Bill! Dude! what is going on? Seems like I was just using Win 3.1 the other day."

Must be cheaper than converting sea water to drinking water. I find it hard to believe that their isn't a small amount of poopie in their somewhere.

These filters have been around for a while. You can buy personal ones that are good for taking camping or for keeping in your bomb shelter, emergency preparedness storage, etc.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

This one looks a little bigger than I'd like to take camping with me.

That's nothin'.
My black Labrador pup eats poop straight, no processing at all.

 Dogs are such good recyclers.
I'm guessing it's not a billionaire though?

Could be. Is its name Dogbert, by any chance?

How's that; two consecutive threads that mention Black Labs!

Oh, no. Coprophagia[^]. Time to the put the lab down I think.
Yes, I'm kidding. But it is a nasty habit that the Vets never have the answer to. "OH, i think the dog is missing something in its diet." Oh really...
Never can figure it out. Just stop it puppy!

Now that is hilarious!
