  • Wiz Khalifa Gets Fined In His Hometown For Relieving Himself In Public

    Wiz Khalifa seems to have little control over his bodily functions or he’s just not finicky with his toilet habits.

    Wiz was in his hometown of Pittsburgh last Friday to perform at the Pitt’s Midnight Madness basketball season kickoff. Wiz is a graduate of Pittsburgh’s Allderdice High School and keeps a home in suburban Canonsburg.

    According to the police report, Wiz was caught urinating in public, behind The Flats bar on Pittsburgh’s South Side at around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday and was cited immediately.

    Pittsburgh’s Department of Public Safety wrote Wiz a ticket for his public violation had him pay a fine of a few hundred dollars, but no arrest was made.

    Apparently, Wiz partied a little too hard after his performance, and it seemed like he didn’t notice that he was already relieving himself in front of people.

    Even if the police were aware of Wiz’s celebrity, it did not seem to stop them from citing him for the misdeed. This incident certainly does not make things look good for Wiz, especially when he is reportedly trying to get back together with his estranged wife, Amber Rose, with whom he has a young son named Sebastian.

    Just last August, he claimed he was arrested and detained by Customs and Border Patrol officers in LAX, because he refused to get off of his hoverboard.

    Wiz also took to social media to address the said incident. He posted videos before he was detained and while he was being cuffed, which Wiz also posted on Twitter.

    This time, however, he did not contest the ticket for his public urination and paid the fine peacefully.

    Amber Rose has not commented on the said incident.

    While Wiz and his reps did not comment on what happened, he did fire back through Instagram, posting a photo of himself urinating against a wall with a smile on his face.

  • Andy Cohen Is Turning Lady Gaga’s Pee Into Perfume

    Obsession is a light word went defining the idea sparked by a man to scoop up Lady Gaga’s tinkle puddles for the sake of transforming it into perfume. After a recent visit to Andy Cohen’s talk show, Watch What Happens Live, the American pop superstar had to urinate really badly, so she went in her dressing room’s trash can. After Gaga exited her room, she apologized to Cohen, as it was an emergency to quickly go without having to rush immediately to the bathroom. Instead of being upset, Cohen saw the disaster as a rare opportunity; he had now, in his possession, fresh celebrity urine, and he wasn’t going to miss his chance; Cohen had an assistant collect the pee before it went bad, and had it turned into a perfume.

    The fiasco was first reported by Lady Gaga on twitter a month after visiting the show:

    On Tuesday, Cohen broke his pee collecting tale, and told late night TV host Jimmy Fallon confirming Lady Gaga’s tweet that it did happen.

    Cohen said, “Lady Gaga peed in a trash can in her dressing room. It’s a long story, but she did. She said on her way out, ‘Look, I couldn’t get my way to the bathroom, I’m sorry’ – she’s a superstar, she’s Lady Gaga, she can pee wherever she wants as far as I’m concerned.”

    “And so I said to our PAs (Production Assistants), ‘You guys, we gotta do something with Gaga’s pee. That’s a pop culture artifact. We could bottle that up and put it somewhere in the [set].’”

    “I have a PA named Ryan and he emailed me and goes, ‘Look, Gaga’s pee is going to go toxic.’ Not because it’s Gaga’s pee, but just pee goes toxic, apparently. But he found a recipe online where you can make it into something else using alcohol and stuff. He made it into perfume.”

    “So, we have it in a pretty bottle. I know, it’s kind of gross, but that is a pop culture artifact, if you ask me. That is going to be worth something.”

    So there you have it, pop star pee is pop culture artifact certified. Vincent Gallo sells his own sperm for $1,000,000, Britney Spears’ hair gets sold on E-Bay, and Cohen makes Ryan collect the tinkle liquid of Gaga.

  • Universal Law of Urination: 21 Seconds

    Universal Law of Urination: 21 Seconds

    Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have established the standard for a “law of urination,” which states that all mammals take roughly 21 seconds to pee. Big mammals, small mammals, boy animals, girl animals – anything weighing over 1 kilogram takes 21 seconds to tinkle, give or take 13 seconds.

    During a trip to Zoo Atlanta, Patricia Yang, a biologist at Georgia Tech, along with her colleagues, gauged the duration of urination from several different types of animals, with bladders ranging in capacity from less than 4 ounces to more than 25 gallons. To help reinforce the new findings, here’s a scientific reel, produced by Georgia Tech, of a bunch of peeing animals for your Thursday:

    But why is this peeing time so universal? According to the research, the “feat is made possible by the increasing urethra length of large animals which amplifies gravitational force and flow rate. We also demonstrate the challenges faced by the urinary system for rodents and other small mammals for which urine flow is limited to single drops. Our findings reveal the urethra evolved as a flow-enhancing device, enabling the urinary system to be scaled up without compromising its function. This study may help in the diagnosis of urinary problems in animals and in inspiring the design of scalable hydrodynamic systems based on those in nature.”

    “Most of the research is on humans or animals smaller than humans,” Yang said, (The 21 seconds applies to humans too), adding that gravitational forces don’t come much into play regarding smaller mammals. Though when it comes to something like an elephant, which has a 3-foot-long urethra as thick as a household PVC pipe, the pee has time to reach a higher velocity. Essentially, since an elephant’s 25 gallons of pee gets moving at a much higher rate, it can approximate the speed of a mouse.

    The team plans to submit their findings next month at the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yang hopes the law of urination might even influence new designs for water towers, which also pump water using the force of gravity.

  • Study: 1 in 5 Americans Pee in the Pool

    Study: 1 in 5 Americans Pee in the Pool

    Memorial Day weekend has passed. Pools are open across the country and the official welcome party for summer is over.

    If you went to a crowded pool this weekend, or if you plan to the rest of this summer, you might want to think about taking a long shower afterwards. A new study published in the Huffington Post reveals that 1 in 5 Americans Pee in the pool.

    The study was conducted by the Water Quality and Health Council, who found that not only were people admitting to peeing in the pool, but 7 in 10 people said they didn’t take a shower before getting in.

    According to the Chair of the Water Quality and Health Council, Dr. Chris Wiant; “Swimming is not a substitute for bathing. Too many people unknowingly treat the pool as a communal bathtub. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s important to shower before you jump in the pool to help keep swimming healthy for everyone in the pool.”

    Sweat, cosmetics, sunscreen, hair products, fecal matter and dirt can mix with chlorine to create irritants that cause skin rashes and irritate the eyes. These irritants are what cause red eyes after swimming, and the strong chemical smell some pools have, not chlorine.

    It is also important to recognize that chlorine does not kill all germs. The Huffington Post notes that bacteria like Cryptosporidium can still survive in Chlorine. This germ is responsible for half of all gastrointestinal outbreaks.

    There is really no way to avoid any of this, except to stay away from public swimming pools al together… Which isn’t a bad idea for many reasons.
