Ah yes, the bathroom... I'm envisioning a device that would couple onto the
appropriate part of the pilot's anatomy, and dump overboard via high
pressure pump. As an option for some extra $$$, it would also come with a
numerically controlled rear probe triggered by the electronic fart detector
(see VOCs thread). The gases would be compressed to 3,000 psi for
volumetrically efficient onboard storage, because dumping such volumes of
gas overboard could throw the boat out of trim.

Are there any test pilots out there? 

:)
