can jw's use medically, those icky things?
by carla inthe other thread about leeches got me thinking, can jw's use those absolutely disgusting bugs you may find in rotten garbage but also is used to treat gangrene?
i will not say what it rhymes with as that would be politically incorrect but i also cannot type that word nor say it, it is too disgusting and give me the willies.
this 'bug' eats dead flesh anyway.

The Q Drum~ Reinventing The Wheel~ Why Didn't I think of This?
by Sparkplug inthe q-drum, a low cost rollable water container for developing countries.. the burden of fetching water, invariably over long distances by cumbersome and far too often, unhygienic means, is all too evident in rural africa.. the idea of the q-drum originated in response to the needs of rural people for clean and potable water, as well as easing the burden of conveying it.
the solution had to be simple, water in adequate quantities is by far too heavy to carry, by rolling the water in a cylindrical container and not carrying it seemed to be the only solution.
the container had to be durable, and breakable handles & other attachments would simply not do - in many parts of africa even a hammer & a nail are scarce commodities.. the q-drum addresses these needs by providing a simplistic, cost effective and durable solution: the uniqueness of the q-drum lies in the idea and design of the longitudinal shaft or doughnut hole, and is acknowledged by the fact that worldwide patents have been granted for the concept, thus confirming the novelty & inventiveness of the design.

I thought it was pretty neat that it mad a probably horribly uncomfortable task easier. I have often looked at photos in magazines and thought to myself, " That has to suck. (Carrying that water) So when I saw this featured in a magazine on helping under developed countries. I had to share. I was intrigued.

The Q-drum is user friendly and the uniquue longitudinal shaft permits the drum to be pulled using a rope run through the hole. There are no removable or breakable handles or axles, and the rope can be repaired on the spot or replaced by means available everywhere, such as a leather thong or a rope woven from plant material.
The Drum is manufactured from Linear Low Density Polyethylene through either rotational or blow moulding and has a high compatibility with foodstuffs and water. It's durability has been proven by Kaymac Rotomoulders via a 3 metre drop-test filled with water as well as extensive actual use in rural areas of South Africa and Angola.With the Q-drum, even a child can pull 50 litres of water over flat terrain for several kilometres without undue strain, and could shift the burden of water collection away from adult women to children and reduce the existing burden on the children at the same time - they play with it and love to fetch water.
