Scientists have developed a way to turn pee into electricity. And there's plenty where that came from, they point out.

They also used to make soap out of pee.

Some people us it to keep their wounds clean if nothing else is available, pee is the miracle we all have been waiting for!

The Wikipedia article is pretty interesting....

Quote:
In the Indian ayurvedic tradition, urine therapy may be called amaroli. Another name is Shivambu Kalpa, taken from the title of the ancient text Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi. Here, shivambu can be translated as "the waters of Shiva", and refers to the urine.


Quote:
Ultimate fighter star Luke Cummo drinks his urine everyday as part of his diet.


Very interesting!
