Take Back the Twentieth

There is little about the horror that unfolded in a dark Colorado movie theater that Eugene Han and Kirstin Davis can forget. There's the sound of the gunfire, the screams, and the chaos that followed as James Holmes opened fire in a rampage that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded, among them Han and Davis. One year later, the couple are taking back THAT day, replacing the fear they felt with the love they have for one another, when they marry today (Mountain Daylight Time) - a year to the day of the shooting rampage. "My thought process was that everyone has a date that they want to get married on that means something special to them," Han said Thursday on CNN's Piers Morgan Live. "For us, it was a night of terror and all that. So we wanted to change the date and, you know, make it our own." But enough about that because a machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device, which promotes a Unicef campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water, spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapour through a special membrane designed to only let water molecules get through. Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have "drunk other's sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water. That's actually quite a bold claim they're making, because drinking sweat is disgusting. If you want to drink a liquid made from sweat, that's fine but I'm not drinking somebody else's sweat, especially if they're charging for it. It's just not worth it.
