welcome our new piss swilling overlords!

Why have they not followed the lead of Blackadder and Baldrick on their sailing trip to the new world?

It's the one with the suspitious stains down the front

You enjoyed writing this article waaaaaaaaay too much, didn't you?

Though use of the word 'spunk' brought worrying images to mind - let's hope they don't try to recycle that too...

[Afternoon, Samantha ;) ]

is taking the pi....

Sorry it's Friday afternoon.

Pubtime!

So what happens when these brave spacefarers get back to Earth and give their loved ones a huge kiss with wee-wee stained lips?

EEWW!!

Paris because, well, she MUST have done at some point.!

LOL! :-))

...has "a keg shaped affair" that serves piss.

Paris - because she has more "American spunk" than most, and as a result, would never have "parched lips"

Since the 'piss' is clean enough to drink, how long before we get in space golden showers?

(Probably after they've created a gravity simulating machine, but I've overlooked that fact in the name of funnies)

Mine's the one with the shower cap hastily stuffed in the pocket.

You just reminded me of that Spanish song called "Mi Aguita Amarilla" (My Yellow Water)... which describes precisely how the guy takes the piss, and his "yellow water" makes its way to the sea, passing through the water YOU drink, drunk by the cows YOU eat, and eventually the fish you also eat.

Even here in good ole Earth we have to filter our water before drinking, otherwise we would still get cholera from drinking tap water. (Ok, in some countries you still have to filter tap water as well, but that's another story.)

Damn you, Page; your headline made it sound as if NASA was going to telecast live TV of the first bottles of recycled piss being drunk aboard the ISS, perhaps followed by a cut to a shot of the Mission Commander licking his lips and declaring "Mmmm, great piss!". Now, I sure as hell would've tuned in for _that_.

But no, we just get them sitting at a press briefing, just _talking_ about how they're going to be the first piss-drinkers in space. Big damn' deal.

<cue nasty fetish jokes here>

..And here I was getting all excited at the prospect of the first in-orbit biffo on the back of Romanenko distilling some vodka from some old food packaging and boots! And then I read this?!

Paris, cuz she knows how to create a headline :p

How long until they recycle the chocolate cake?

It's fun drinking water the water here, filtered but in essence straight from the mountains (and it's snowing again today). Just the idea that a large part of Europe drinks our waste, hahahaha..

(we greet you from a mountainous region in Central Europe).

BTW; shouldn't that be the pISS then?

Mine's the one with the colostomy bag..

...that the crew of the Enterprise were never caught out during their travels.

"Captain, the Romulans are attacking!"

"Gimme a minute - and throw the chef in the brig for serving curried eggs last night!"

The Apollo astronauts always say that the one question they always get asked is about what the toilet arrangements were. So I don't know if it's comforting or not that here we are, 40 years later, and still the one detail that excites the most interest is still talk about wee.

Any aliens that chose to contact us in future better be prepared that the first thing we're going to want to know is how they handle spending a penny in the depths of space. Other technological and sociological chit-chat can wait.

The human race ; conqueror the universe one urinal at a time.

...that they don't serve asparagus or beetroot on the ISS. Although mix-a-drink should be compulsory.
