Or, maybe it's more like a S**t Brickhouse?

Is this article worth one of my allotted clicks or will it be crappy?

With a low fat, high fiber diet, I believe I could sh!t bricks. Organic adobe, what a concept!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

With some ceviche from a sketchy roadside stand you wouldn’t need bricks. Just build it like a 3-D printer. Likely be more of a mud hut though

A promising technology, unfortunately the structural integrity of the bricks is weakened by the presence of corn kernels ..

My oldest brother was in the Air Force in the early 50s stationed in France. He said they made bricks from the solid waste from the out houses mixed
with straw and used them in making homes. So I guess what this article says is not new, just cleaner.

I wonder if the homes required nose plugs???
