Fresh human urine is sterile and so free from bacteria. In fact it is so sterile that it can be drunk when fresh

Reminds me that I heard that original Gatorade was designed from human urine. It's not human urine but they analyzed everything you lose in your urine and recreated it in a synthetic form and then added flavoring so you can restore you electrolytes and sugars.

Actually it was from sweat.

I know widipedia isn't the most accurate source in the world. I read the article and it is consistent with what I learned about Gatorade. It was just easier to find and post this one article than to find and post the research articles.

That's right. Sweat. Flavored sweat. Yummy.

Contrary to popular belief, no one is buried in Grant's Tomb.

However, Grant and his wife are entombed in an above ground room.

That helps explain why I do not like the taste of any Gatorade. Think I will stick to 'home brew'

Here is an easy one

How many mules are on a 20-mule team?

18.

There were also two horses which served as Wheelers on the team.

Did you know that African Ground Squirrels masturbate?

Did you know that someone actually studied it to find out why they do it?

Did you know that a journal actually published the study?

Waterman, J. (2010). The Adaptive Function of Masturbation in a Promiscuous African Ground Squirrel PLoS ONE, 5 (9) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0013060

How would you like to have that on your CV?

How would you liked to be the peer reviewer of that article?
