Damn you Kitsune! You stole my earth-shattering revelation!! :P Yeah, I've heard that too.

I'm actually a recovering shower-pisser. I used to do it all the time, I actually preferred it since you just felt "free" when doing it.

Now I think it's dirty. The pours in your skin are remarkably skilled at picking up odors. That's why if you spend the night in a smoky bar, even if you change your clothes and wash your hair you'll still smell like smoke.

Or if you're really daring, sprinkle some dehydrated milk into your bed and sleep on it. You'll smell like rotting milk for days. (The old practical joke is line someones bed with plastic or some non-porous layer, then a light layer of dehyd'd milk, then their bottom sheet. If they don't notice it when they go to bed they will wake the next morning literally smelling like rotton milk... and it won't wash off)

Anyhow... so if you do happen to let the yellow river flow in the shower then you are trapping some wonderful urea in your pours. (Of course it's arguable that it really won't matter that much since your sweat already contains urea, even if it's in a much smaller concentration than in your urine).

Plus... I think that if anyone also uses the shower as a bathtub, then you should not wizz in the tub. Nas-tay to think about.
