Worlds collide.

This morning, my friend Dr. Whisky sent me a link to what may possibly be the greatest BBC news story ever.

Researchers at the University of Aberdeen (shout-out to [profile] hermiston!) have discovered a way to use byproducts from the whisky industry to treat contaminated groundwater. This process, which has a name that has been tortured to produce the acronym DRAM, is still in the research stages. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone has properly studied the side effects on human populations exposed to DRAM via the ingestion pathway?
