Have you ever noticed how your pee smells after eating asparagus?It's because some of its constituents are metabolised and excreted in the urine, giving it a distinctive, mildly unpleasant odor. The smell is caused by various sulfur-containing degradation products (e.g. thiols and thioesters). As a result of studies it was not only shown that only around 40% of the test persons displayed this characteristic smell, but also that not everyone is able to smell the odor once it is produced. I have the order....
I wounder if this monkey ate asparagus before he drank is pee..

Coffee makes my pee smell (and maybe taste) funny too.
Did you get that out of "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" Because I just read about it in that book.
