weird facts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Punkscience was born in Holland. Many years ago. Punkmum just shared with him that, in the first three months of his pregnancy, she deposited her morning wee in a designated receptacle and left it outside the door for a health official to collect. Back then (~30 yrs ago) HCG was extracted from the collected urine and used in fertility treatment. This program was still operating six years ago. I felt kinda warm and gooey when she told me. Then a bit disgusted. Then warm and gooey again.

You can't imagine public sensibilities being superceded by the Greater Good in good ole Blighty, can you?
