Patent filed for dog poo cement


A German architect has filed an application for a new type of cement made of dog poo.

Friedrich Lentze, 57, from Berlin, applied for a patent for his "odourless heating and building material" made from the dog poo cleaned from the streets of the German capital every day.

He said: "They thought I was joking at first, but it makes economic sense as the stuff has to be collected anyway, so why not use it for something useful.

"The loads of dog poo that are gathered every day actually make a great mortar with fantastic insulating properties."

3. Ahh... Lentze: famous for his inventions like the banana-straightener,...
the human-milk and urine soup,
the dog-brothel,
the dog massage parlor,
...

And no, this is not a Simpsons's reference.
