No word if the two students responsible for suggesting the idea are descendants of whoever convinced the English to save water by not brushing their teeth.
According to BBC News, two students at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, have come up with a controversial idea that they say could save enough water to fill 26 Olympic-sized swimming pools in one year alone.
Just how do Chris Dobson and Debs Torr expect to conserve so much water? You guessed it, by having all students piss in the shower instead of the toilet.
“We’ve done the math,” Dobson said. “This project stands to have a phenomenal impact. Imagine how big an impact it could have if we could get everyone in East Anglia, or even the U.K., to change their morning habits.”
Naturally, the concept of taking a leak in the shower has left others feeling a bit, well, pissy. But Dobson assured that as long as the water is flowing, there is no hygiene risk because urine is sterile.
Sounds good to us. At the very least, it’s a much more acceptable idea than trying to promote water-saving habits by encouraging excessive golden showers during rush week.
