Beefy wee

McToot

Had a corned beef sarnie at lunch (with lettuce, cucumber and mustard if you must know). 

It's has made my wee really stinky.  So does oxtail soup, now I think about it, so it must be something to do with all the bovine lips and R-soles that go into both products. 

Don't even get me started about asparagus.

coffee makes it smell of sugar-puffs

frankus

ginger ale makes mine foamy.

Both of the above triggered sniggers.

same here. too much chicken also makes mine very sticky

Ive no idea why the LOLs.   its perfectly true

so this isn't about Ian Botham providing the police with a sample to see if he's had a smoke?

Curry makes my wee smell of poo.

And your poo like piss.

I was thinking earlier today that it would be better if poo wasn't so brown.

Wouldn't it be great if it was bright orange, dark green or tartan.

Why, yes, yes it does. Have you been spying on me or summat?

this forum is excellent

I need to write into New scientist about the green poo though.

mind you it hasn't stopped me drinking it

Asparagus is King though

from a recent New Scientist:

 Just minding my business, obeying the law of urination

IN A race to empty their bladders, which of these wins – cows, elephants or dogs? Answer: none of them. They all do it in roughly 21 seconds. This weird fact is explained by a new “law of urination”, which looks at the physics behind what happens when you just gotta go.

 

Patricia Yang and colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta filmed rats, dogs, goats, cows and elephants urinating and gathered footage from YouTube of other species relieving themselves. Combining this with data on mass, bladder pressure and urethra size, they created a mathematical model of urinary systems to show why mammals take the same time to empty their bladder, despite differences in bladder size.

 

Previous research focused on humans and other animals where the effect of gravity can be ignored. That’s not true of elephants, whose urethras are about 1 metre long and 10 centimetres wide, allowing the urine to reach higher speeds. Dogs and goats have shorter urethras, so get less of a gravitational boost, and have smaller bladders. The result is that they all empty their bladders in roughly the same time (arxiv.org/abs/1310.3737).

 

There are limits to the law. Gravity only plays a small role in small mammals like rats and bats. Rather, viscosity and surface tension dominate, which explains why their urine is released as a stream of drops instead of the jet seen in larger mammals. They urinate in under a second.

 

Here’s the long version
