Buttered Flip
In an old American medical journal, The Philadelphia Medical Museum (1811 - Vol 1, No.4), Dr. Richard Hazeltine of Berwick, Maine shared a traditional yankee recipe for "buttered flip" cough medicine:
The "buttered flip" was composed of recent urine, obtained from some one of the children, hot water, honey, and a little butter: and it generally removed the complaints for which it was given. Exhibited in this manner, it never puked; but it promoted expectoration and sweat.

Impolite Pastries
If you visit Hong Kong you can try one of these lovely pastries that poop and puke when squeezed. Can't believe it wasn't from Japan!

Pee in the pool
I view this info as part of the CDC's continuing campaign to really gross people out about swimming pools, since it follows up on the report they released back in 2013 (posted on WU here) about the high level of fecal contamination in pools.

Pee .. Beer .. Recycle
A company is now making Beer from urine and other sewage waste water. I think this would be good for the space station as they do something similar but only get back the water.

Poop Colors
A simple website on a narrowly focused topic. I assume its creator is making money via the link-based ads running on the site.And I see that the URL peecolors.com is available for purchase. So if anyone wants to offer poopcolors.com some competition (or imitate its money-making strategy), now's your chance!

A Sad Life
How sad does one's life have to be for him to follow a woman around Walmart and masterbate? Bonus: it was the Kissamee Walmart but I don' t think he got a kiss.
