"Wellington-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 yesterday.
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 visited the site."She felt the worms were being unfairly treated,beign expected to deal with human faeces,and it could affect them in a psychological way," Bell told the newspaper".-Sapa-AFP."The Citizen" 17/12/07 South Africa.

Does anybody in New Zealand ever asked to provide a report on the mental condition of their officials? Probably not.Apparently that would be futile exercise. "Against folly Gods themselves are powerless" Faust,Goete.
