How'd They Think Of That

I often wonder, "How's they think of that?" when it comes to certain things. I can only imagine that a life or death situation presented itself and an odd solution was revealed.

For instance, have you ever wondered who was the first person who said, hey, I think that if I pee on the spot where someone got bit by a jellyfish the pain will go away.


Or which was the first geisha to discover that pigeon poop lightened skin.


And what about all of these fertility drugs, do you know that some of them contain the urine of pregnant cows and women; how did that subject come up in the lab one day?

I can't help but think about the genius who figured out that by swallowing whip worm eggs and allowing them to hatch in your stomach you can alleviate ulcerative collitus (pretty sure it's spelled wrong so watch dr. Oz). I mean that is just gross.

Can you think of any others?
