PeePee PinGGG!.....................
“The most likely explanation is that the bottle was a witch bottle inspired by the traditions of nearby East Anglia.”
The source of the Globull Warming hoax............
“Alternatively, it may reflect a different practice common among sailors, where a bottle filled with urine was buried at their home as a superstitious measure to ensure a safe return from their voyages.”
Well, who doesn’t do this? On the rare times I leave the compound to, ‘go out among the English’ I leave a Witch Bottle behind. Better Safe than Sorry! ;)
Or someone thought it would be funny to pee in the bottle and then seal it back up in the hopes someone would open it and take a swig.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if if they could perform DNA analysis on the urine and find living descendants? Imagine the student contacting them! “Good day, sir. We have something that once belonged to your gr-gr-gr-grandfather.”
Yeah, but how did it taste? They didn't say in the article.
I see some of these witch bottles along the highways, and especially at exit ramps. I’m guessing based on this analysis that they are carefully placed there to ward off wrecks and ensure safe travels...
That’ll put some hair on your chest!
“The mystery of a 200-year-old bottle has been solved. It turns out, it wasn’t a vessel for booze, but a “witch bottle” filled with pee”
I didn’t know they had truck drivers back then.
Just because it’s urine now doesn’t mean it wasn’t rum at one time.
Should’ve sold it on the collectors’ market before testing it. A crowd of people with more money than sense would have bid a 200 year old bottle of rum up to eight figures. If Johnny Depp has any money left, he would probably end up in a bidding war with Keith Richards and push it higher.
And then get outbid at the end by someone from Hong Kong.
Can anyone prove that pee in a rum bottle doesn’t keep the witches away? I mean, you could ask the witches, and they’ll tell you “We were gonna turn that guy into a newt but he’s got a bottle of pee on his front stoop. Eeeww!” Well, I would, anyway.
“gotta go fill the yuengling keg” is code for going to the bathroom at my place...
I would imagine that 200 year old pee would hold a lot of interest for all kinds of researchers....
