While the thought of this is kind of nasty, it's actually a pretty good idea. No sense in pissing away free electricity.

A prototype toilet has been launched on a UK university campus to prove that urine can generate electricity, and show its potential for helping to light cubicles in international refugee camps. Students and staff at the Bristol-based University of the West of England are being asked to use the working urinal to feed microbial fuel cell (MFC) stacks that generate electricity to power indoor lighting.
 
Why do none of these articles actually Show the toilet and the device? Instead it is some shitty cropped photo of what looks like a normal urinal..BFD. Screw these terrible news writers who also think they are artists.

Also it's just gonna get pissed all over being at a university. And given where it is I wonder how it is going to respond to some drunk dude taking a drunk dump in it? :D
 
Remember the scene from the Revenge of the Nerds movie where Ogre took that crazy long monster piss? LOL

Likely simply due to the current economic climate of news reporting.
