taking the piss

gauchos, mountain peaks, tango, patagonia, steak — nope, none of these are argentinia's most valuable export, but: properly aged piss.

200 000 litres of postmenopausal urine can yield one gram of gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1, which is enough for 2000 doses of fertility promoting medication. further details about grannies pissing into tupperware containers here (via reddit).
