They put the “pee” in peony — professors advocate recycling urine as flower fertilizer

This wasn’t exactly the number one thing on my mind this morning — but thanks, Internet.

A couple of University of Michigan professors have been applying pee to peony flower beds this spring to highlight the economic and environmental benefits of such recycling.

Turns out what we consider a waste product contains “essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus” — just the kind of stuff agricultural products need.

The professors hope their “pee-cycling” will get people talking. And if you don’t think it will, urine for a surprise.

Dolly Parton, Doja Cat to star in musical about Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza

The Mexican Pizza is returning to Taco Bell — May 19th. And if you a Taco Bell Loyalty member, you get it two days early. So even fast food has its VIP culture. Wow.

Speaking of culture (maybe?), you apparently will get to see a TikTok musical about this beloved menu item that will star both Dolly Parton and Doja Cat.

How? Why?

It all started when Doja Cat wrote a “contractually” obligated jingle about the Mexican Pizza leaving the menu. From there, it spiraled into one of those ironic, viral moments. And Taco Bell has decided to embrace the satire.

In a full send moment, future Rock N Roll Hall Of Famer Dolly Parton will be joining in. Read more about this ridiculous project here, if you so desire. And remember, you can go green & recycle those Taco Bell sauce packets now.

Calling men “bald” is now sexual harassment

Judges across the pond in Sheffield have ruled that labeling men as “bald” can now be chalked up as sexual harassment, because there’s nothing women love more than getting tipsy at their company Christmas party and then pointing out the obvious lack of hair on men’s heads.

One of the judges pointed to the fact that baldness is more prevalent among men than women, making it a form of prejudice.

A woman gave birth at a Metallica concert

Joice Figueiró was given permission from her doctor to attend a Metallica show last week with her husband. She was very pregnant, 39 weeks, but didn’t want to miss her favorite band. During “Enter Sandman” her son decided to enter the world. They called the medical team over and she had the baby lying down in the handicapped area. She and her son were taken the hospital and the baby is happy and healthy. She’s not going to name him “Sandman.”

R.I.P., iPod: Apple to kill off device that changed music forever

The device that took us from CDs and cassettes to digital — is dead.

Apple only sells one version of the iPod still — the iPod touch — and they just announced that when the current inventory is gone, it’s gone.

To say that the gadget changed the way we listened to music is an understatement — it is estimated that over 450 million have been sold since its inception.

Sure, MP3 players had been around for quite a few years when Apple launched it. But the company saw a suite spot between tiny flash-memory units with little song capacity and the bulky hard-drive like models of the day. Between that and the ease of acquiring your music through the iTunes store, the device became ubiquitous.
