A universal truth?

Not sure if this topic belongs here but I was intrigued to see a news story today that Georgia Tech has won the 2015 Physics Ig award (mock award by Harvard for "improbable research" for a study showing that nearly all mammals take the same amount of time to urinate!

One does wonder how and why that one was thought up.

About 21 seconds i believe..

The scientist in me suggests we do our own study into this matter. I propose we conduct further research, this time measuring both the time to urinate as well as the volume passed.

Perhaps we could encourage participation by offering a reward for the "speediest" bladder.

Mine varies significantly. A normal average pee is around 25 seconds, but if I've been drinking a lot and/or holding it for a long while, it can last over a minute.

I seem to remember we did this a long time ago. I just peed for 32 seconds according to my stopwatch. I think I average 25 to 45 seconds. Lots of variables come into play here.

I most appreciate your efforts into this research. I don't suppose you recorded your volume, too? I'll expect a full :wink: report from you.

Who has the speediest bladder of all? :biggrin:

Does the presence of spectators affect how long you take? I'd be happy to help you run some simple experiments. :tongue:

You're completely right. A normal pee may take 30 seconds or so, but if I wait and hold for a while I've got video evidence of full flow for a minute and more. Peeing for a full minute always feels good.
