A new battery brand from Japan called NoPoPo comes with a little straw-like attachment. When the batteries get week, just use the straw to RECHARGE THEM WITH YOUR PEE! And, no, I'm not making this up. (props to The Boy Genius Report and Weird Asia News

I can see it now, tons of people rushing to the washroom to recharge their batteries.
They should put these bad boys in electric cars. Of coures then we'd have to increase the size of all of our bathrooms so we can pull our cars into the stall.
Mike - Help us out here. Is this for real?? Is there really any energy value in urine? How many times could these be recharged? Obviously it's nutty to imagin people peeing on batteries, but if there really is energy in urine, their might be some practical value to this technology (and more automated application of it) beyond just for Gilligan and the professor.
***** How many times could these be recharged? *****
It depends on how much water you drink.
It seems unlikely to me that this product would provide full power and full re-usable recharging.
It is funny, though. I love Japan.

How about a battery that can only be charged by the user sliding it in and out of their rear end, with the heat and friction from your spinchter being the key factor in charging it up. Just don't share them with friends!
You can just use water
