Inquiring into the mental health of worms
The Kiwis are getting some real value for their tax dollars:
The New Zealand inventor of a worm-driven composting toilet has flushed away concerns from bureaucrats that the system traumatised the wriggly creatures, local media reported on Sunday.
Coll Bell, who built the "wormorator" as an alternative to septic tanks, was asked to get an expert's report on its mental impact on the tiger worms after an official became concerned during a site visit, the Sunday Star Times said.
"She felt that the worms were being unfairly treated, being expected to deal with human faeces, and that it could affect them in a psychological way," Bell told the newspaper.
In New Zealand, apparently, inventors build a better mouse trap at their own risk.

This, from the country which enacted taxes on farmers based upon the amount of methane emissions eminating from the sheep and cattle (repealed before being implimented).
