All your life you have been flushing your lottery ticket down the toilet.

Feces contains gold worth millions

Quote:
"The gold we found was at the level of a minimal mineral deposit," said Kathleen Smith, of the US Geological Survey, after her team discovered metals such as platinum, silver and gold in treated waste.

A recent study by another group of experts in the field found that waste from one million Americans could contain as much as $13 million worth of metals.

Lol. I can only imagine the expense that would be involved in sifting through the poo of 1 millions Americans. Sounds like a great way to put America back to work though!

I can picture why this is happening though. We all consume minute amounts of metals through various channels. Perhaps a tiny amount of gold is absorbed through the skin of those who wear jewelry??? We are also ingesting unusual amounts of aluminum as well, probably from cans.

I used to clean horse stalls, chicken coops and pig pens for a local farmer for extra money and hunting rights on his land when I was a teen. I'm not an illegal.

The second sentence was punny the first sentence wasn't. If more Americans could clean up their own **** and pick their own vegetables the illegal problem would take care of itself.
