[CherriBlossomGirl]

The longest time anyone spent awake, according to the Guiness Book of World Records 1990, was set by Robert McDonald. He spent 453 hours and 40 minutes awake. For those of you who are no good at math, that is 18 days, 21 hours, and 40 minutes without sleep.

I question some of those so called facts.

I've never visited the loo 6 times in one day. Although if I average out the days I go drinking I might

You guys need to drink more water. Ever heard of kidney stones? They HURT. BAD.

Can you get them from NOT drinking sufficent amounts of water?

Yes. That's how you get them. Also from eating too many sweets. I can't remember what else, but my mom had one and now she drinks three times more water than she used to because she never wants to go through that again.

Most stones are formed from calcium that comes either from your diet, or if that source is depleted, that which is taken from the bones. The water helps to flush the sediment through the kidneys while the calcium is still particle-like, rather than in the form of a rock.

A lesser percentage of stones are formed from other minerals, but I don't know much about them.

No shit. My dad had them and the one he had was to big to pass thru so they had to shoot it with a laser (I ain't joking either). But quiet frankly I rather have kidney stones than cancer, even if kindey stones HURT. Becuase I am very prone to having cancer of any type and any forum.

I know. I've had the same surgery. I'd rather give birth again.

Dam from what I have been told about birth from moms (I don't even dare to talk about it any more as I learned my lesson in this topic lol), that says a lot.

Once again, jurupa completely misses the sarcasm.
