My friend's boyfriend loves playing Xbox so much that sometimes he won't stop even if he has to go to the bathroom. (She noticed this when she realized that the toilet seat was down more than usual ). A doctor I know says this is becoming a problem with people who can't tear themselves away from the internet or their video games. It's also a problem for people in occupations who don't have time or toilet access.
As for the boyfriend, we're afraid he might die like Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe:
Although the Wikipedia entry goes on to say that there's evidence Tycho died of Mercury poisoning and that Johannes Keppler might have done it in order to steal his data eek, I prefer the urinary retention theory, although later this week I may change my mind if I need material for, say, a Poisoner Frink Thread.Tycho died on October 24, 1601, eleven days after suddenly becoming very ill during a banquet. He was ill for eleven days, and toward the end of his illness he is said to have told Kepler "Ne frustra vixisse videar!", "Let me not seem to have lived in vain”.[6][7] For hundreds of years, the general belief was that he had strained his bladder. It had been said that to leave the banquet before it concluded would be the height of bad manners, and so he remained, and that his bladder, stretched to its limit, developed an infection which later killed him. This theory was supported by Kepler's first-hand account.
What can happen if you don't promptly answer the call of nature?? Although it might not be fatal, you could get a bladder or urinary tract infection, and some people think you could strain a muscle.
If you still refuse to leave the pit at a Morrissey show to tinkle, are some tips. It's also handy to know the proper way to poo in the woods.
