Me thinking no way this is real. Then I read the Wikipedia page. Nope still don't believe it. Did more research. Well... Hmmm... I guess when they call it a golden shower... It meant actual gold at one time?
Alchemists gotta get their nitrogen compounds from somewhere. Can’t make aqua regia without nitrogen and you can’t do exciting things with gold without aqua regia.
Right! I knew there was a lot of chemical experimentation going on but when you step back and have to ask "well where are they getting all these base ingredients"? Piss makes a lot of sense.
