Dutchman, A good buddy of mine was stationed out in the boonies in Vietnam, and was quite the favorite of the officers in his little compound, mostly due to his less than acceptable attitude. He often was rewarded by being assigned latrine duty. One day he decided to speed things up by switching from Jet fuel (Kerosene) to AvGas (high octane gasoline) He splashes some in each barrel, and decides that a 10-12' long pole with a flaming rag, would make the task perfectly safe. As he touches the first pan, it blows and throws him backwards about fifteen feet. He lands awake and face up, no real injuries actually. He opens his eyes to the feeling of rain, and then watches as a large cloud of poop and poop paper, returning from the heavens, covers him. As you might imagine, he decided that there was no real time savings in switching to Avgas, and the rain didn't taste too good either.
I don't know anything about composting toilets, but that story had me laughing to tears.
