Did you know that urine has properties that make it a great source of energy? That’s right: peeing in your gas tank might actually do something in the not too distant future. More »
Another reason I’m glad I’m a dog person: Fire crews in Queensland are investigating whether a house fire on the Gold Coast was started by a cat peeing on the family laptop. More »
You know what they say: Nothing takes the callouses off like fastening plastic bags filled with urine around your feet. More »
Confession: After a day of coffee and a huge XXL Coke, and fighting my bladder for two hours, I had to run to pee during Star Trek. I wish I knew about RunPee then.
Google Street view has caught a lot of people doing a lot of things, but is this the first instance of it catching someone peeing on the street?
Some guy got tired of kids wrapping his house in toilet paper every night. So he borrowed some mil spec night vision goggles, filled a super soaker with pee and drenched them when they showed.
Recently, the International Space Station got a hot new piece of equipment installed: a waste recycler. This fancy machine turns pee into delicious, delicious water. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get it working right off the bat. Well, they finally did it. They are a go for pee drinking up there on the ISS.
The multimillion dollar water recycler recently installed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station is still experiencing some minor issues this evening, meaning crew members will just have to wait to have their first peetinis, Long Island Iced Pees, Whiskpee Sours and other lame pee-themed drinks I have yet to think of. The prototype recycler, which separates waste from water using a centrifuge system, was brought to the station aboard the latest shuttle mission. It malfunctioned two hours after installation, although a separate sweat and waste water recycler is working as expected. Phew!

A much-needed second toilet is on its way to the International Space Station, but that’s not all, not nearly. NASA is.gifting the crew with a new waste recycling system, which will be able to reclaim ‘used’ water. In other words, it will process astronauts’ urine and return it to the station’s water supply to, as one of the current inhabitants of the stations cheerily put it, “take yesterday’s coffee and make it into today’s coffee.”
