Mother Theresa is 29, and has been for the past ten years. She's married, has three kids, a whiny cat and is hoping to someday win the lottery so she can have a maid named Alice (or Maria, or Natasha for all she cares), which might be easier if she actually played the lottery.

The “Number One” Solution

I'm as into saving the world as the next gal. I recycle and I even have a compost bin, but I'm not sure I'm ready to take the next step. Soon, however, I may find myself using pee-rechargeable batteries.
Yeah, you heard right, pee...okay, you can stop sniggering now and listen to what I have to say.
Science has produced the world's first rechargeable battery that works by peeing on it. Kind of makes you wonder how scientists come up with this stuff, eh?
Anyway, join the fight against global warming and get ready to run to the toilet when your remote control starts dying. For all you non-technical folk, that's when you start pressing the buttons harder and harder to get the channels to change. Once you get to the bathroom, which I suggest you do during the commercials, pop out the batteries and...ahh, what a relief.
The last time I peed on something it was a home pregnancy test, and since three kids is enough, I thought I'd never actually pee on anything again...at least not voluntarily. To my dismay, it looks like soon I'll have to do my part to implement the "number one" solution to saving energy, just like everybody else.
What is the world coming to? Next thing you know, we'll be seeing people driving urine-powered cars. The question, "Do you need to pee before we leave?" will take on a whole new meaning. I can just picture whole families downing bottles full of pop before a long trip, and then lining up their kids to recharge the battery.
And those pit stops won't be quite so annoying anymore. My husband despairs each time he hears the words, "I really gotta go!" With a urine-powered car we could kill two birds with one stone (and avoid strangling the kids in the process). Hey, I even propose a direct feed from the inside of the vehicle to the battery. That way we wouldn't have to stop at all. Just think of all the time we'd save!
Come to think of it, this new technology could be quite useful. Imagine a cell phone that could be recharged by a quick trip to the restroom. You could even be in the middle of a conversation and switch to hands-free if the battery level drops.
"What's that? No, it's not raining. That's just me recharging the battery...okay, done...what were you saying?"
The whole idea is growing on me. This may well be the "number one" solution to the world's imminent energy crisis. Come on, just think about it. The possibilities are endless.
