I Pee u Pee We All Pee for...
Only at NASA would you get an email like this... and it be serious! (Where else can you work and a bathroom break be part of your job?)
We need your help...and your urine!!!
We have a shortage of urine to continue materials testing this weekend. So I would like to ask all you males out there (collection units are only available in the men's bathroom) to drink up and head on over to building 4755 to donate for a needy cause.
For the females, if you do want to support our need, we will do our best to provide collection facilities...or you can help pump fluids into your favorite-or maybe least favorite-male co-workers.
No, this is not a joke...although I can hear them flying around right now. We really do need to collect urine for testing so please please please donate.
Thank you...and I know I'm going to get teased for this email
For those confused... Well it is to support testing of the Unit for Space Station that converts Urine to Water. Odd eh? Mmm Mmm Cheers!

Hmmm, I think I'd rather offer the test sample than test the recycled product. Is the recycled water for drinking, or rather re-drinking?

Uh. . .it "be" serious? Surely you be jesting. Or maybe you be serious. "Is". Its seriously a necessary part of the English language. It be serious. That's not even a typo. This sickens me.

I little known fact: you can drink your own unfiltered urine 2 times before it becomes leathal... I read somewhere that urine is ripe with tons of nutrients and there are people that do urine therapy...

First thing that popped in my head while reading this was the first scene in Water World.

Ha ha after the Water World scene, the first thing to pop into my head was a story from one of my brothers about how he urinated into a glass of Mountain Dew and a friend of his drank it (they were like 10 or 11)!!!

I liked water world!
Sometimes you have to stop thinking when you watch movies, we all know that we wont have gills anytime soon and cool macguyver looking boats that use gas (though you could not find gas that easily when everything is covered with water) when all anybody wants to do is get down to earth and get a plant... yeah for brainless movies
Dont get me started on "the core" one of the stupidest and most predictible movies of all time.... the thing was made of "unubtainium" come on, something that converts heat to electricity but they did not even use it untill they were about to die cause they could not set off nuclear bombs in a sequence to get the core of the earth rotating again *deep breath*
man there have been some bad movies, jerm you need to watch "the core" and see what you are missing out of movies
