Time for another BK Fun Fact! This one brought to you by @Dirty Duck .

In the official rant thread he started off a post with:

You know what really brings my piss to a boil?

Which reminded me that boiling piss was how we discovered the element phosphorus! A German alchemist was trying to create the Philospher's Stone by boiling his urine in his furnace. Supposedly be boiled quite a bit of it, but he managed to discover a glowing residue that he named phosphorus, after the fact it glowed.



Pretty neat! I can only imagine how thrilled his wife must've been at the discovery and to have her basement smell like boiling piss all the time.
