utterly utterly unhygienic

Interesting but irrelevant fact time! Urine is actually almost completely sterile (at time of excretion) and not even particularly toxic. As far as actual hygiene goes it's probably one of the less problematic things that occurs in public restrooms.

Still an utterly terrible behavior though.

Urine may be sterile when excreted, but it acquires significant bacterial charge when exposed to the environment. These bacteria break down urea and produce ammonia gas, which is quite irritating.

Haha, that's just my bizarre humor. Glad someone picked up on it!

I like irrelevant fact times. I think they are so much fun :-)

Specially circumsized men will have more trouble if ya know what I mean. (And that Sheryl Crow cover, "First Cut Is the Deepest" - that's totally true...)
