City uses DNA to fight dog poop

So this town is analyzing the DNA of dog poop - both on the ground and in the doggie bins to reward or punish owners as appropriate. I knew this technology would one day find a more useful application than catching murderers! (Never see that on CSI...)

San Antonio is full of Poop

This is a marvelous thing - creating energy from human waste. I wonder if some cities would do better than others?

Washingon DC must lead the country on volume of political waste - they could probably keep most of the lights on the East Coast burning.

San Francisco might actually produce mind altering energy based on the amount of drugs in the sewage system.

New York would have very steady energy levels considering its population continuously spouts the stuff.

Any cities that might be different for you?

The unnamed officer, who the Sun newspaper said provided personal protection for Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair, forgot the weapon after she visited the coffee house last week.
