Question

Mahatma Ghandi, and may be his brother Mahat Macoat, drank a glass of his urine each morning. But he was as thin as a bean pole so do not think it did much good.

I was in a taxy in Punta Monte in Chile, the Driver said he was a Doctor from Chicago and he drank a glas of his urine every day.
I asked my son, a respected Hospital Consultant in Gastroenterology and Hepetology, what it is it any good,
He said NO, Urine is taking away all the poisons that accumulate in the body, putting it back again is dangerous.

Bentonite was used for pumping the shale to the surface and also coating the side of the hole to seal the sides and prevent collapse of the sides.cant remember whether we used byrytes or for what.its 60 years ago since I was a roughneck.as an aside bentonite looks like cement.I am familiar with this product as when you have "mudded up" over 100 sacks of the stuff through loss into the strata and its 40 degrees of frost f it stays on the memory

It would appear from your well respected contributions that it is only Jim who has this mysterious condition.
Perhaps if he stopped eating salt and vinegar crisps and salted peanuts he may be cured.

#1. Louis was driving along yesterday and it started to rain, and I thought about you and your grandsons questions. Another question in Orals was what is dew point. Answer the point at which air must be cooled to cause condensation. Another bit of useless knowledge. However if you want to appear brilliant in his eyes the next time he asks,try baffling him with science before he gets too old to do the same with you. Cheers JS

Sorry to be pedantic but if we are going to teach our children the truth and not get our science thrown back in our faces by 7 year olds, then
Dew point is the temperature at which air must be cooled at CONSTANT PRESSURE and WATER CONTENT to reach saturation point, it is only when air at Dew Point comes into contact with a surface cooler than its dew point that condensation occurs.
Rain falls from clouds when saturation point has been reached and the cloud is no longer able to support the saturated molecules of condensation due to the difference in pressure throughout the clouds height.

p.s. it was a rather stunning looking Mauritius born female met teacher who used to drum Met. into us in 2nd Mates whilst most of us were trying to blimp down the front of her blouse.
