Scientist claims secret of perfect way to urinate
An Australian scientist claims he's discovered the perfect way to urinate - and it involves both men and women sitting.
Professor Ajay Rane says people should sit on the toilet with their hands on their knees, leaning forward.
The James Cook University professor has spent years trying to help people who suffer from a weak bladder.
He said: "It involves basically advising women - and men, in fact - to sit on the toilet with their feet flat on the ground, elbows on their knees, and leaning forward as if they're reading a newspaper on the floor.
"This improves both bladder and bowel function."
News.com quotes him as saying if a person "hovers", they empty only one third of their bladder.
He says he's also conducting a study to find out whether a toilet with a seat or the third-world squat toilet works best.
He said: "If the jury comes back saying the hole in the ground is the best way to go, I think some serious decisions will have to be made all over the developed world."
