With the release of the Edgar Rice Burroughs inspired movie of John Carter (based on the John Carter on Mars series of books) I have been reminded of how much I really enjoyed these books as a kid. Well having been re-informed about them I intend to make time to reacquaint myself with them - well Just as soon as I have finished reading Stewart Lees book about his time as a stand-up comic. If you haven't watched Stewart Lee let me suggest you search him out.
Here's a link to John Carter trailer and another for Stewart Lee

Power the world
I have recently been reading about microbial fuel cells (MFC's), a really interesting concept that can use microbial activity to degrade many types of substrate such as waste water, sewage sludge etc ad in the process produce electricity.
Although this technology is in its early stages, many of the reports seemed fairly confident that within the next ten years these MFC's can be used to replace some battery applications, or provide small scale plant works with electricity.
I wonder if these systems could be adapted to work from food waste?
