Recycled Brains

Australia has garbage cops:

Local council bin police wearing head lamps are prowling neighbourhoods in the middle of the night to check whether residents are recycling.

At least one contractor hired by the City of Monash in Melbourne has been threatened with the sack after peering into rubbish bins by torchlight and spooking elderly homeowners at 1am.

I hope someone implements that here.

Before you start thinking I've turned into a mush-minded eco-hippie, consider the fun you could have with this. For example, a half dozen loaded rat traps just under a layer of newspaper at the top of the can. You'd be able to hear the howls of agony for hundreds of yards, and the "trash cop" would look for another career -- hopefully a useful one. Then you could do it all over again with the next mouth-breather to take the job!

Alternatively, pour honey over a middle layer of trash and then scoop a big shovelful of a fire ant bed into the can. Oh, how we'd laugh...

Stupid hippies.
