Eura wee bit crazy


Ever heard your mom say to your dad: “Why do you have to go outside to pee when the toilet is just down the passage?”
No? erm ok then, sorry dad, but mom was right all along, you are an animal!

Well it just might be that my dad finally has an excuse to answer nature’s call, outside or in the garage after all. Hell mom can even do it in the kitchen soon if these Indian soothsayers are to be believed!

Urine-powered cars, homes and personal electronic devices could be available in six months.
Using a nickel-based electrode, scientists can create large amounts of cheap hydrogen from urine that could be burned or used in fuel cells. One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses. – I can see Cow stocks going up already, and I dread to use Hoover again but a car in every garage, a chicken in every pot and a cow in the back garden!

One molecule of urea, a major component of urine, contains four atoms of hydrogen bonded to two atoms of nitrogen. If you place a special nickel electrode into a pool of urine and apply an electrical current, hydrogen gas is released.
A urine-powered vehicle could theoretically travel 90 miles per gallon.

So remember that the next time someone stops on the side of the highway to relieve himself or herself, it may be because they are running low on the old fuel!

Wise words: Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
Additional wee wee beliefs: Urinating on one's belly before swimming will protect one from cramps
And throw in a Chinese proverb for good measure: It Is Better To Fart Next To A Candle Then To Urinate In The Wind.
