Bill Gates drank water made from human feces

It’s a dirty job, but Bill Gates did it.

The Microsoft billionaire and philanthropist rolled up his sleeves and downed a cup of water that was human waste just minutes earlier.

Gates was checking out the Janicki Omniprocessor, a machine that turns sewage into drinkable water.

The Gates Foundation is hoping that it can make contaminated water safe for millions to drink.

Gates, who currently ranks as the world’s richest man, agreed to be filmed taking a swig of the converted sewage to demonstrate the technology.
