The outer road along Interstate 44 near Six Flags St. Louis is freshly paved -- with asphalt made from recycled swine manure, reports the AP.

And while the animal waste may stink, the idea doesn't....

Why? Not like you're going to be able to tell. It's gonna look like the same asphalt you see every where else. It's genius!
