erynthered Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Mowers 'hit them, they explode'In April, Colorado increased its "human waste" fine from $40 to $500. Transportation employees convinced lawmakers of the need for the drastic increase with their tales of finding urine jugs as they mowed roadway ditches. "We hit them, they explode. The operator ends up wearing this stuff," Randy Dobyns told state senators. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7912464 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ok, that is gross. Personally, I just whiz on the side of the road if I really gotta go when there are no rest stops around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7912464 349839[/snapback] I wish them luck in finding the perpetrators. Another law that is unenforcable but by gosh shows that the sponsor is on our side and remember that come Tuesday... BTW, I went to my local grocery store this morning, and there was a flattened "Summer's Eve" cardboard package in the lot, next where I parked.

Johnny Coli Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 FWIW, normal urine is sterile. Normal urine is sterile. A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when microorganisms, usually bacteria from the digestive tract, cling to the opening of the urethra and begin to multiply, according to the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases. Many infections are caused by one type of bacteria, Escherichia coli. Not everyone with a UTI has symptoms, but most infections have at least some. These may include a frequent urge to urinate or a painful, burning feeling in the area of the bladder or urethra during urination. It is not unusual to feel tired and washed out, or to feel pain even when not urinating. urine in the news There you go, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 More fun facts about urine... Fun urine stuff In northern Scandanavia, Laplanders consume a hallucinogenic mushroom called amanita muscaria, also know as Fly Agaric. The mushroom's hallucinogenic compound "muscanol" is excreted in the urine intact. When the mushroom is in short supply, people who have consumed the mushroom will urinate into a pot. Someone without any mushrooms can then drink the urine and experience the same effects. Far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a quick look-see. Edit...Its a waterborne pathogen, an enteric protozoan that infects the GI tract to be exact. Pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on a list of potential biological agents, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Actually, urine while it's inside the body is sterile. Once it leaves the body, and on it's way out, it picks up bacteria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzer32 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 67 feces covered items....now that's gross. What saves these guys more time. Pulling into a rest area to poop or pulling over on the side of the road to wipe their arses with old t-shirts because they sharted themselves from NOT pulling into a rest stop?
