Johnny Carson (or was it Letterman?) suggested this on TV 30yrs ago or  
so.
Interesting to think about on a community or national level... I was  
talking to
a sewage plant mgr one time and mentioned that show and he remembered.  
He said
that if even a decent fraction of the city did that there'd be a major  
sewage
'event' to be cleaned up...

I suspect the top floors could have had some 'fun' with the bottom  
floors by
doing the same thing, but with a more memorable odor... ;)

Remember, I said not to use simple examples beyond their simplicity...  
The
string merely showed the ineffectiveness of wire length on a wave,  
that is all.
It is good for that. Any other use is out of context and will void  
your warranty...
