Sir, we've got a pinkelproblem on our hands

Pinkelproblems on the rise...

1. German plants are in danger of drowning from football (that's soccer to us N.Am.s) fans' copious amounts of urine. Authorities are calling it a "Pinkelproblem" according to DNA India. The Observer finds out how it works:

'The urea sinks into the ground as ammonia. In small quantities this is a good fertiliser, but too much acidity is bad for the soil and could damage or even kill the trees,' warns Tilman Lamparter, a biologist at Berlin's Free University.

(Thanks Debby!)

2. And in case those fans are in danger of being dehydrated, they should turn to the Yorkshire Water's Pee-O-Meter. You can download and print them to your heart's content here. It matches up colors of pee with your mood or health. Mustard yellow goes with dizzy. Lemon yellow goes with sluggish and so on.

There have different ones for men, women, and kids. Now what, you ask, is the difference between the sexes' pee-o-meter? Do we have different default colors of pee? Nope. The back of the men's has ruler marks going up to five inches and some cheesyass font that asks "How do you measure up?" I kid you not. Methinks a better name for it would be the Pee-nis-o-meter. Jeesh.

(Thanks Peter! You rock)

As we say in the speech pathology biz, "pee pale!" or "pee clear, sing clear" (for the musical types). Got to keep that voice hydrated (especially important for cheering your head off at football matches)!
