"Poo-Poo-Poopy Panda! Go Poopy Panda Ranger Power!"--Says Japanese Scientist.

Poop-A-Doop-Doop! Panda Poo Will Save The World! From What, We Don’t Know.

I blame Bush.

Why?

Not sure.

But whenever I hear the phrase “Panda Poopy”… :smiley:

This from the people who kill bears for their gall bladders. Or maybe that’s the Chinese.

Go Poo!

“A JAPANESE scientist could soon become stinking rich with an invention to be ready by 2005 that would use Panda dung to create electricity.”

Yeah, right. Get back to me when you can get electricity out of pigeon shit instead of one of the most endangered species on the planet.

So that’s why pigeons bob their heads!

To generate electricity!

And kill Giant Pandas. :smiley: :wink:

Umm… how exactly does taking their poo hurt the pandas? And they probably don’t even have to that, just take a sample and culture the bacteria, which is all they really want…

i fail to see why this is in the Pit.
The scientist will just select for more effecient bacteria from the cultures he already has, and may get more samples of panda poo from other zoos to see if the bacteria varies.

gonzoron, if pandas are endangered, then they don’t produce that much poop, 'cause there aren’t enough pandas. There are far, far more pigeons than pandas. Hence, more pigeon poop than panda poop.

That doesn’t mean we can’t culture the bacteria, which reproduces much faster than the pandas and is what is being used in the invention. depending on type, the bacteria can divide in as little as 20 mins. There will not be a bacteria shortage if this is mass produced that will require feeding Pandas prunes in order to get more dung.

Yeah, I don’t get it either; this seems like a well-observed discovery that could be quite useful not to mention great fun[li]. It only involves pandas at the start, with no ongoing commitment and yet they get all the credit. Pourqué el pittage?[/li]
Damn, I wish my job involved dissolving organic matter using panda poo. I’m so jealous.

Exactly. Once we have the bacteria, SCREW the pandas!

CRAP CRAP CRAP!!! (pun intended) This title has stirred up memories about a short story I once read where “poopy panda” is some sort of weird cult/religion. Only… I can’t remember what story it was or who wrote it! I want to say Piers Anthony but I just don’t know.

:smack: :smack: :smack:

Burning pandas for electricity? Hey, I’m all for it, but are there enough to go around? Can we just paint some brown bears and pull a fast one on the power company?

I like bears. How about the unemployed?

It was a finely-crafted parody of the early years of the Disney Empire, wasn’t it? :slight_smile:

Wouldn’t this be a good thing, seeing as it could provide another reason to encourage conservation efforts?

C.M. Kornbluth… thank you so much! It must have been in a collection of short stories, since I don’t recall the author specifically.

Now to go find that book!

You know, everytime I hear PANDA, I think of sex.

Which is why they won’t let you into the zoo anymore.:smiley:
