    Let this be a learning moment for all aspiring nerds – how long since you’ve read Theodore Sturgeon’s More Than Human?

    I know some nurses that would love to have power over poop. A whole lot of the practical side of medicine is concerned with getting people to start or stop pooping.

    The Redhead’s college roommate was a VA nurse for years. She would show the enema bag to the macho veterans, the ones who when tied to their wheelchairs, instead of asking to be untied, would get into bed wheelchair and all, and they suddenly found their bowels loosened rather than face the “bag”.

    *makes one wonder if their wasn’t an altar to the “bag” in the nurses lounge*

    Honestly, the first thing I thought of was that you’d have the power to rapidly purify contaminated rivers. Even if they weren’t contaminated by sewage/farm runoff, you could sweep it through chemical spills and absorb a fairly good percentage of it.
