They tested and proved that this was not possible due to the fact that urine sprinkles out in particles and not one solid flow.
"The urine stream produced by the experiment was a lot more "splashy" than I usually experience - much too splashy, for example to do a satisfactory job writing one's name in the snow, let alone conduct electricity. But lots of people write their names in the snow every year, or at least their initials. My guess is that the difference between the experimental results and the reality of my own urine stream is a difference inlaminar flow. Laminar flow is the opposite ofturbulent flow. With laminar flow a stream flows in layers rather than mixing as it goes along. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_flow It can occur in liquids when the vessel being drained creates a stable stream (unlikely in a contracting bladder) OR when the stream passes through a tube with a consistent diameter, interior surface AND sufficient length. The spongy urethra is usually 15-16 cm long. The nub on the dummy was about half that. In short, the pipe on the dummy was too short. I think that with a longer . . . um . . . outlet appendage, the results might be very different."Comment

Poor chap.
If he wasn't circumcised before the incident, he sure as hell was afterwards.
Anyway, since this thread has descended in to bad puns, shouldn't it be moved to "Light Relief" ?
General is only for "current" events.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
