Officials in the German city of Ulm are urging the public to stop urinating on the walls of Ulm Minster, the world’s tallest church.
According to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW), church officials said the constant flow of people urinating and vomiting on the walls of the church is eroding the sandstone base because of the salts and acids in the bodily fluid.

sad
What a sad state of affairs.
Do people go there to urinate and vomit? Do they “hold it in” until they can visit there? Do they go there, when they feel sick and feel the need to throw up????
Wow, just wow.....
Wow. I don’t get it, just from the standpoint that all these bars have bathrooms.
Or does alcohol impair their judgment, reasoning, etc. that they don’t think about going to the proper place to do bathroom functions?
Geez...........
Embed an electric grate and see what happens.
High voltage, low current wiring....
Dammit! Beat me to it.
Beat me to it! Well played, FRiend.... “Now, let me ask you - just quickly - Herr Gambolputty-de-von-Ausfern (etc.)”

My younger brother, when he was about two years old, went behind the living room couch at our grand parents house to pee.
There was one of those old asbestos wrapped lamp cords on the floor there. Suddenly he started screaming “my feet, my feet.”

I’ve been to Ulm while on a training exercise with the German Army back in ‘94. It was pretty cool down there, and their kasserne was made up of an old fortress that overlooked the city.
You should hear a Bach toccata played on the Ulm Munster pipe organ. Awesome!
Is there a reason why the police don’t arrest them?
In San Francisco, someone invented a device that flings the pee back at the urinator. Use that.
smells like San Fransicko
“In San Francisco, someone invented a device that flings the pee back at the urinator. Use that.”
In San Francisco they’re using a super hydrophobic paint which urine bounces right back off of. Interestingly enough, San Francisco evidently got the idea from it’s successful use in Hamburg’s St. Pauli neighborhood, where bar patrons were urinating on all the surrounding buildings.
Here’s a link with some videos of how the paint works.

That’s some pretty cool stuff.
I bought a spray bottle of Rustoleum Never Wet to use on my tan Danner boots. Haven’t tried it yet...a little nervous about the effects. But it looks like it’ll work fine.
That’s what I was remembering. I have to wear it when listening to the press.
It is so easily edited.
I tell my kids about the time I saw a little dog, a real annoying little whatever, go hitting everything he saw with a stream. It ended when he hiked on an electric fence.
He recovered, but stopped spreading his sunshine all over the place.
You have a good idea for the officials at the world’s tallest church to consider seriously. My compliments!
or so I've been told.....
I’m glad you are not speaking from first-hand experience! ;)
