Enjoy water? You’re drinking dinosaur pee
Toronto Sun ^ | May 29, 2015 | Postmedia Network

That glass of water in your hand is dinosaur pee, apparently.

Not like it's unfiltered, but a science YouTube video posted this week raises the interesting tidbit that, since dinosaurs were around for 186 million years and water molecules are everlasting, it's a foregone conclusion that every drop of water on the planet passed through the prehistoric species once upon a time.

"While most of the water molecules in your 8 ounce glass have never been drunk by another human, almost every single molecule has been drunk by a dinosaur," the video by CuriousMinds says.

"So drink up and enjoy your dinosaur pee."

It's not the first time this theory has come about.

Charles Fishman, the author of The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water, told Marketplace Morning Report that, "All the water on earth has been through a dinosaur kidney. Every bottle of Evian you drink from is Tyrannosaurus Rex pee.

"All the water on earth has been here for 4.5 billion years. It's all toilet-to-tap at some level."

Well, if you live on the South Platte, Platte, Missouri or Lower Mississippi you’re probably drinking my pee.

Obviously not Dino pee. The molecules have been on earth a very long time and have made their rounds through the Water Cycle and have been in dinosaurs, glaciers and plankton.
But it’s all purified through the distillation inherent in the Water Cycle.

I was at a Blue Jays game last week here in Toronto. A vendor was selling bottled water in the stands. He would hold up a bottle and go up and down the aisles saying, “ICE COLD AMERICAN BEER! GETCHER ICE COLD AMERICAN BEER HERE!” The crowd was in stitches.

Hehehe!!!

Filtered dino pee is for sissies. I drink mine unfiltered. The fresh fish poo masks the lingering dino flavor.

Nonsense. Water molecules are not eternal. They are broken up in photosynthesis
 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 
and formed in combustion
 C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O 
The oxygen and hydrogen atoms involved may well have been in dinosaur pee at one time, but the water molecule probably hasn't.

Another reason to love FR and its members. I learn something from people like you every day.
