well, I rarely listen to music when playing any mod whatsoever.(to add to the " realistic" atmosphere). in fact, music was never very interesting (tone deafness is partial, but does affect this. cultural and personal concerns add to the problem). when i do, its either the EB music, or just about the only band i listen to (a.k.a rammstein-mein herz brennt is preffered, or spieluhr perhaps? Nebel is nice too. all of them have a sadish/ etheral tone, but i'm a sad fellow).

it can be used to feed a city-get creative (like culcutta), and its a carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuel. its a good source of methane (in fact, 12% of all methane emmissions come from cattle alone), which can be made into car fuel (like natural Gas). also, the finest brands of coffee, cooking oil, and a few others, are basically pooped out of an animal (the coffee from an indonesian civet that swallows coffee beans, and the oil from morrocan goats eating nuts from a special tree). some types of tea are made from insect droppings in some parts of china (the insects eat the leaves, poo the left overs out, and they are collected-don't ask). the hindus can be damn creative with cow dung: they have soap, shaving cream, and even toothpaste from the stuff, made from dung of cow-yes, its perfectly safe. also, in parts of Africa, elephant or Rhino droppings can be used to make paper. Saltpeter is/ was often made of the stuff. cow urine can be use to make a wierd red ink, and can be used to treat wool (if your last name is fuller, then an ancester was knee deep in it curing wool). but now I'm getting into the world of urine.

Moral: have imagination. even the seemingly insignifigant can be an asset....that's what got us humans with outr present state.

1-some special on TV
2-I read articles in Nat. geographic, Collier's encyclopedia, me school book, and talked to a person who actually handels the stuff (Mrs. tarrent).
3-ever heard of Karen Chen? she can teach you how to use fossil poop to open your narrow mind on the use of dung in paleontology
