| There was an episode on the Mythbusters TV show (on which urban legends are debunked or bunked (sic?)) about this type of thing. The urban legend was that by pissing on the third rail of a subway system (which is electified) you could get a shock - the show couldn't demonstrate that a charge would pass up a stream of urine to shock you, if I remember correctly they thought this was because the stream of urine is not actually a continuous flow. Interesting in the context of this. wv |

I cannot think of any public toilets in Dublin City Centre except for that weird yoke at O'Connel bridge (is it even still there?) and whilst its very easy for people to tut about public urination, what are people supposed to do - if you need to go, you need to go. A blow to the back or a minor car crash can cause the human bladder to burst if it is full (as it act like a balloon, when empty it sits, deflated) something that will seriously mess up your life. But thats not a concern to the public representatives who are well paid to tackle civil issues like this. |

| THE CHAIRMAN of the Joint Policing Committee in Ennis yesterday proposed the appointment of two “urine wardens” to tackle the problem of public urination in the town at weekends.he appointment of urine wardens would be on a trial basis and they would patrol the town’s streets at weekends on the look-out for revellers urinating in public. Cllr Paul O’Shea (Lab) said: “The wardens would then notify the gardaí and on-the-spot fines would be issued. I’m very serious about this.” Yesterday, Mayor Frankie Neylon (Ind) said he would support Mr O’Shea if he brought a motion on the issue. “I would encourage it on a trial basis, but if our traffic wardens are getting spat at during the day in carrying out their duty, I believe any urine warden would be in a lot of danger at 3 o’clock in the morning. I can see difficulties with it.” Urine wardens proposal put forward
