Chinese Hops? What Next

[real_beer]

well if your going to raise that old turd of an issue (yes pun)

China Population: 1,330,044,544 (July 2008 est.)
so at 0.7kg of poo per pay per person = 255.5kg per year, say avg lifespan in China is 65 thats 16607.5kg a life time.
16607.5 x 1,330,044,544 = enough fertilizer for hops.

There was a show on tv a few months back about the sewage treatment problems different countries are facing. In China they really push Bio-tanks (I think that's what they called them), they encourage rural people to install them in their homes and the poo from the family can give them a constant supply of gas for cooking etc. Apparently most of the women in these areas will only look for a husband that can provide her with one so she doen't have to spend half her day scouring the countryside for wood :lol: .

The worst topic on the program was a scientist from Japan I think it was, who because there is so much undigested protein in human feces has produced a method to extract it and make edible HAMBURGER PATTIES from it!!!!!!!!! . The good thing about this, is as I'm an old fart I probably wont live long enough to see this idea on the menu. At least we wont have to have imported chinese hamburger patties lab tested for crap content as they'll be cooking and heating with it :lol: :lol: .

Yeah poo for fuel is old news but they were pushing the human poo story. Probably should add Hungry Jacks to the list as well.

cm2, that is quite brilliant how you figured that out, but how did you arrive at the average Chinese turd weighing 700 grams?
Because if you`re wrong, the whole calculation is out the window

dont you mean the calc is up the ****? lol
i googled avg turd weight then decreased it by about 100-200g to allow for thess fatty foods they eat. figured that would make sense. but if we say that im 200g out....
.2 x 365, x 65 yrs = 4745kg, x population = a lot of poo. hmm i still recon there's enough crap with out them being up **** creek with a mash paddle.

speaking of canberra...see Krudd's latest comments about the new boat asylum seekers. 'too bad, so sad, bugger off'. he chastised Howard for his attitude and handling and then goes and does the same. obviously the shine has worn being PM.

Considering they are out of date already on Chinese hops supplies , you have to wonder whio is telling the truth.

The Chinese dont have a labour shortage, they dont have a case for leaving hops on the vine.

They are flat out supplying world demand. Who is saying these untruths who have to wonder.

Thank god i am in the hot seat to get these hops

I'm suprised they didn't post this stuff before the closing date for the bulk buy; but as most letters they have generalised and have not mentioned a direct body..

maybe we should continue to pay their AHB pricing??
