It seems my local authority has now built a massive big biodigester. All food and garden waste is now to be disposed off in my wheelie bin (collected weekly).

How capable are these biodigesters? Can I chuck in the odd corpse? Wheelie bin ideal size. To protect innocent I can put grass clippings on top.

Much better carbon neutral profile than local crem.

Hydrochloric acid for the flesh.
Sulphuric acid for the bones & teeth.

Might be the other way round, but then the diligent serial killer should have a few corpses to practise on.

Maybe we start with household pets and then move to higher volume carbon life forms.

Ok its a crap idea. Then again...even the Beatles made it

On a serious note, you really can put everything in these things, fruit, veg, chicken bones, egg shells etc. We have one in our back garden that the local council provided along with a small bucket for the kitchen to collect the waste and an enzyme you sprinkle over the waste before you transfer it to the digester.

I put the mother-in-law in ours a few weeks back and she disappeared within a few days. Admittedly there was a little bile left, but nothing was going to get rid of that! 😆

I believe they're experimenting with something along these lines in Belgium.

I'd sooner be stuck in a hole in the ground if it's all the same...

I believe the end result will be the same.

these are similar to the digestors that water companies use to recycle poo. They can take almost anything but not sure about bone, I suspect it would need to be treated first (thermal hydolysis at a guess) to break it down.

Interestingly we on occasion get bits of body washed into a sewage treatment works, which is nice.

Based on recent trends you just need to cut the limbs off and the stuff it into a rucksack. The significance or importance of your 'friend' will dictate which version of CSI you will get to watch unfurl in your house.

Hopefully you'll get the ginger bloke from Miami... he's rubbish.

How on earth did you get her to stay in it? Surely you had to spend hours whacking her on the head with a shovel first - it'd be a bit like trying to get the cat into its basket for the trip to the vet.

Same way I got her daughter to agree to marry me.

Feed stock for digestors of any type is macerated prior to delivery to the main vessel. Your bones and whatnot will be ground up.

You need good surface area to ensure everything is metabolised equally in the same time.

I understand that a very effective method of disposal is to woodchip the deceased into the sea. Apparently the soft tissues are eaten and the the remainder like teeth etc sink away. The chipper then follows the corpse.

I expect the hardest bit would be getting the chipper onto the boat, obviously mind your fingers.

Grunty - arms and fingers. I imagine other bits are too heavy to be washed through

Science officer - poo isn't macerated before digestion 🙂
