I can't be recycled because there aren't dietary minerals... or it can be recycled about ten times

[policefan]

...until there is no more urine left

...until there is no more urine left

I'm going to throw my support behind policefan.

Um. If you're peeing out salt, aren't you in trouble anyway? The problem is that you'll cease to produce pee if you don't have enough water going in (ask anyone who has been to the Glastonbury Festival and tried to avoid the toilets for four days). And water going out is going to be dependent on where you are and how sheltered. Peeing is a luxury in water terms.

vespa says, "smudge is technically correct but if you're in the middle of the desert there are a certain number of times you can drink it and be ok. What is that number? Ten is too high."

sockii-- I hope you are not subbing because vespa is off doing an experiment on himself...

Nah, he's here being a lazy bum shouting out replies to me as I read them off the computer screen...

[Shangeris]

Ok! 8 is my last offer

vespa says right answer is 6 so he'll give Shangeris the "recycled urine prize" for closest answer!

His next question is: "Why are musicians (and anybody with a loud-noise job) ears' ruined over time?" He wants the exact anatomical reason - no googling allowed!

[smudge]

Erm. Little bitty receptors way down in the ear - I think of them as tiny little hairs - which get mushed to crap by standing too close to a speaker stack?

They whine at you if you only cripple them temporarily.

(Forgot my earplugs again last night)

What happens after the 6th time?
