Weird science experiment? Signal to passing aliens? In case someone gets thirsty and can't make it back into the house?

  - How can having bottles of water all over your lawn be a better idea than cleaning up the poop? - Krusty Feb 9, 15:07 4
    - I don't want to touch dog poop, *ever*. -- nm - loosilu Feb 9, 15:15 2

    - Depends on how often the dogs use your lawn I guess. - the liioulu with Feb 9, 15:12
I'm not positive if it was a real answer or a guess but it might be about keep dogs off the lawn. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 9, 14:52 3
- Huh? And looks like trash. Heh, I was about to say 'looks like cr@p' but maybe that's what they're trying to prevent :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 9, 14:56
- google says it deters cats -- nm - marcel Feb 9, 14:54 1
  - It was a guess then, as I remember gophers also figure into that conversation. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 9, 14:55
