If you've ever wondered why, after consuming asparagus, that your urine gives off a wonderfully pungent odour, then today is your lucky day as I am about to reveal why in just a few ticks. Stay tuned...
Well. you can relax, it's totally normal. In fact, the effect of asparagus on urine odor has been observed for centuries. French novelist Marcel Proust famously wrote in 1913 that asparagus "transforms my chamber-pot into a flask of perfume." And one British men's club is said to have put up a sign reading, "During the asparagus season, members are requested not to relieve themselves in the hat stand." Depending on which study you read, between 22% and 50% of the population report having pungent pee after eating asparagus. But that doesn't mean only some people's bodies generate that smell. Researchers believe that, during digestion, the vegetable's sulfurous amino acids break down into smelly chemical components in all people. And because those components are "volatile," meaning airborne, the odor wafts upward as the urine leaves the body and can be detected as soon as 15 minutes after you eat this spring delicacy. But only about one-quarter of the population appears to have the special gene that allows them to smell those compounds. So the issue isn't whether or not your pee is smelly; it's whether you're able to smell it. If you smell a funny fragrance in your urine after you eat asparagus, you're not only normal, you have a good nose.

Here's one for you: Why are daddy-long-legs so crap at flying? It's as if they've all only recent taken up the activity, and still need practice. You never see one that's actually mastered flight. Is it because they're so bad that they get caught by birds before they learn? We demand the truth.
We call them Jenny Longlegs up here because we see them as effeminate and not as a danger whereas our southern Nigel cousins are scared of the flying bugs and in turn emasculate the Crane fly. After doing some research, the Crane fly's wings are not large enough to support its body weight, hence it is a **** flier.
Mine's always got blood in it anyway so wouldn't notice the difference. I s'pose it's what you get for going down on badgers during rag week
It gives you energy and rots your teeth. And having a man-crush on Mark Wahlberg doesn't make me a puff
They're crane flies, ya fud. Daddy long legs don't have wings, they're the spiders that look like a rice crispy with, err, really long legs.
