It seems I accidentally generated a little raincloud of controversy and confusion over my environmentally friendly policy of weeing in the shower. Some people seemed all for the idea, some people were a little disturbed by the whole notion, and others well, they just seemed to share a little too much information for my liking.

As many of you know, I post little bulletins on my myspace letting you all know about any new posts to LOS. Occasionally people reply via myspace messages to let me know what they are thinking, away from the glare of the LOS comment sidebar. A message from on (as yet) unnamed source had me a little worried...

My bulletin:
"Weeing in the shower... good? Bad? Ugly? Way of water conservation? You bet... "
Reply:
"It's not as bad as someone weeing in your mouth when you're asleep."
My Reply:
"Dude... when did that happen?"
His reply:
"I derno, i'm sure it's happened to someone at some stage. it'd be pretty bad. way worse than weeing on your feet. Someone once told me that weeing on your toes is a great way to get rid of Tinnitus."

Firstly, due to the nature of myspace emails, I spent a whole day laughing about how someone had decided to pee in my friends mouth while he was asleep. Apparently not the truth.

Secondly, he believes that weeing on your feet will cure Tinnitus. Now I'll be honest with you all, I'm no doctor, but I don't think weeing on your feet will have any effect on a condition that effects your hearing... Tinnitus is the "Ringing in the ears sometimes caused by compressed blood vessels."

So Kristoffer, may I suggest that perhaps next time you and your friends are on the way home from a rock concert, and notice a high pitch ringing in your ears, you might consider refraining from weeing on each others feet? At least, if you feel the need to wee on each other to cure your symptoms, I would suggest aiming a little higher, around the ears perhaps? At least thats applying the solution directly to the problem areas...

Alternately, you could wee on your toes to help prevent Tinea.
