1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Beijing - More than three million Chinese drink their own urine in order to live healthier and longer lives, state media reported on Friday. One of them is Zhu Jinfu, a 71-year-old senior engineer from the eastern city of Nanjing, who has been drinking his own urine since he was 13, the Xinhua news agency said. Zhu told 300 participants at an academic seminar held this week in northeastern Liaoning province that he got the idea from his ancestors, who had enjoyed great longevity due to their drinking habits. Yang Liansheng, a professor from the Liaoning Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was quoted by Xinhua as trying to give a scientific explanation of the alleged benefits of drinking urine. "Urine is turned into something like blood serum after it is filtered by the kidney," he said. "Therefore, urine contains no bacteria and is more sanitary than blood." The tradition of urine drinking has roots all the way back to ancient China, according to a website that promotes urine as "the fountain of youth". An ancient pharmaceutical dictionary, "Shang Han Lun," recommends mixing medical herbs with urine in order to enhance the impact of the medication. - Sapa-AFP 3 Million Webpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In an unrelated story, there was this grease spot on the floor and I took the store's manager aside to tell him about it. I said "Your floor's slippery." He replied, "You want a fork?" Sigh...

Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I personally like SOBE Green Tea, that stuff hits the spot. Maybe because they sweeten it up. Man, drinking urine. Uh I will take a pass on that fad thank you very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I have a better one: When I lived in Ohio, my better half and I always ordered from this Chinese delivery place. EVERY TIME I called to place an order and gave my address the lady always got it wrong. I lived on Clark Street. They would always respond "Cawk?" Even when I spelled it out they never got the address right, and there were several times where I would have to drive there and pick up the order because they didn't know where I lived. This is why I feel, even though I'm usually against government regulation, an English-speaking person should man the cashier of every Chinese restaurant out there. Their orange beef was the bomb though, and the owners seemed like nice people -- that's why I kept ordering. I hope I didn't set off the Xenophobe Alarm with these stories...

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Haha. No, I got you. I am not racist at all, but sometimes the difference in dialect makes things funny. I was at an amusement park once and was on one of those spinny rides that goes fast and fast and then reverses. The lady gets on the mike and said "Do you want to go faster?" which the combination of accent/microphone came across as "Do you want to grow fatter?" Still makes me laugh.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I'd never do this in a million years, but piss is indeed sterile. Salty as all hell, and full of things your body can't really use, but it's clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 I've seen enough piss-porn in my day to know that drinking piss is not that uncommon. I'd have guessed it was the Germans, though ... most piss porn seems to be from there. Who'd have thunk that it was the Chinese, too?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kent Brockman: "We're all taking Golden Showers now!" I was going to use that quote, but good thinking on the Simpson's though. But yeah I'll stick to my usual "healthy" drinks: coffee, beer, Mountain Dew, and Crown Royal. With an occasional Red Bull here and there. Fuck drinking piss.
