Thanks rod, very nicely put. Birds have no bladder - wow. Does that also apply to Bats? I seem to remember something about Urea and Wohler's synthesis in Organic Chemistry many many years ago - but it didn't look like bird droppings! Ammonium cyanate? Oh well - same day, same shhh! |

In the garden, if no-one is looking, I pee on the compost heap; it seems to speed up decomposition. My Granddad, whose house now I live in, was more modest, and used a bucket in the garage when outdoors tending his vegetables. When it was half full, he topped up with water, and carefully poured a pattern on the lawn, about 10' x 30'. Within a couple of days his initials were spelled out in lush green grass, to Grandma's strong disapproval. Andy |
