What is this, the goddamned Middle Ages?!!

And what about the alchemist from Bern who had the bright idea that something else that shines like gold is piss, so he boiled gallons of it, trying to extract the pure, powdered essence? That must have made him quite popular in the neighborhood… taking peoples’ piss and boiling it, the smell coming from that house must have been incredible.

Anyway, the guy was the first to isolate phosphorus as an element.
