"P" like a race horse. - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone actually know what that term means. I find myself using it all the time and realize that I don't know what the meaning behind it is. Did they prevent race horses to "P" so they can run faster? LOL?

Race horses are given Lasix which is a diuretic. So they end up "p"-ing a LOT before the races. That type of medication is supposed to help prevent nose bleeds, which can happen when race horses overexert themselves.

As far as I remember they can pee more than a gallon in less than 10 seconds. Talking about pressure. lol

it's also given to them to cause them to urinate (almost instantaneously) so they can drug test them.

To add yet another reason it's done (and allude to one mentioned earlier) is that you can imagine what a gallon of "P" would weigh. The drug was a quick way to get a horse to drop 10+ pounds before a race, in which every pound counts (look at the anorexic jockeys). As far as I know, Lasix is no longer allowed to be used as a diuretic.

Haha... let's get to it then. Go film yourself and put that thing up on You Tube under the title "Ripley's Believe it or not, the human creature than can fill 1x 5 gallon water bottle in 29.48 seconds"
If that won't get any recognition and have you invited onto shows like Conan O'Brien or Jimmy Kimmel... then I don't know!
