But has anyone researched whether Frankenstein's monster is capable of independently producing pee? This seems like a critical piece of the puzzle.

I bet Dr. Frankenstein himself would be a whiz at figuring this out. He was so sciency!

I'm sorry to hear about the issues, but I'd be lying if I didn't add that I kind of get it. :-/ Don't get me wrong, I know I'm still really young in relative terms.. but 30 years of consistent grappling has also taken a pretty big toll.

Perhaps no consolation but you're better being born a man; women go through some STUFF

My neighbor had coyotes eating his chickens so he bought a jug of Wolf Pee on the internet - no more coyotes! Also, what is urea?

Ah, that little thing I should have included here! Urea is a byproduct of protein breakdown, in a nutshell. That helps explain why folks were so sure this was only produced by life - it was in both pee and poop, but really nowhere else (I mean, also stuff like decaying corpses... but certainly only from living things).

This organization utilizes pee as fertilizer: https://richearthinstitute.org. Have attended some of their online presentations. Go look at their studies.
