In the city, I think the challenge would be to capture the water from your gutters. A lot of cities don't even let you do that though.

It'll be interesting what happens with the mutant termites eat through one of those legs too... "Here lies Mad Max, killed by a giant falling boob..."

@Miranda Kali: Oh yeah. I never visit io9 unless I'm cheesing my brains off.

]]> <![CDATA[Collect Rainwater in Eco-Apocalypse Style]]> @Miranda Kali: Glad to hear that from someone of the fairer sex. I've been known to see those things where they aren't. Part of being a dude i guess.

]]> <![CDATA[Collect Rainwater in Eco-Apocalypse Style]]> More awesome low-tech meets high tech. Did io9 just start reading TreeHugger or something? There have been a ton of green friendly tech posts recently. I mean, not that I'm complaining. The whole point of tech is to improve our lives.

That said, I love how something like "Death Ray" or "Apocalypse" gets worked into the title.
