• Bathrooms on the Death Star: the Star Wars "Urineverse"

  We were at Waffle House last night and far be it by me to let the greasy spoon inhabitants to get bored, but sometimes I use my deduction skills to come up with some weird stuff.  Trust me, if I'm using the word "weird" to describe what's going on inside my head, I'm either drunk or hyped up on coffee at this juncture.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  For some reason the conversation turned over to Star Wars and we were already on the subject of going to the bathroom, so I considered the largest object ever conceived in science fiction and whether or not it had any restrooms. Of course, when movies are set in a very serious and epic format, going to the toilet is never mentioned. Now, in order to make my case, I had to do the unspeakable and do actual research for something..... a little nerdy. I don't care what you say, I had to have some numbers to go by. Before I get comments about how it's not real, your mother is and so were her orgasms.Ok, here we go. According to The Technical Book of Science Fiction Films, the population of the Death Star was approximately 31,622,963. I have no earthly idea how someone thinks of this, but those same people probably also have no idea how I get mine. I got this information here, so check it out yourself (yes, people do talk about these things). I'm fairly sure someone got beat up pretty badly to come up with this number, but we're going to use it for the sake of argument.
  
  Now let's say the average person squeezes the dragon at least three times per 24-hour period. The average output of urine daily could be somewhere around a healthy 2000ml, which is about 0.53 gallons. This means every day the Death Star is not only losing massive imaginary amounts of food and drink including the Snapple machines, its populous is producing around 16,696,925 gallons of pee pee; not to mention that's 94,868,889 trips to the potty. Here's the problem. Where does all of this fictional piss go? Do they have a Giant Death Star Pissy Puddle Recycling Plant, where Storm Troopers eventually end up drinking the last shift's green tea?
  
  

  
  

  
  Even if that were the case, you still have those pesky laws of science which makes sure matter never goes away; so basically, it has to go somewhere. Since outer space is immensely freezing, you would have to shoot the pee out at high velocities to keep it from freezing up on the outside shell and thus making the Death Star, the Big Pee Ball with Green Planet Blower-upper Thingy. No one wants their planet obliterated by a giant ball of frozen piss.
  
  

  
  

  
  Firing streams of urine would result in giant yellow icicles moving at speeds only the Flash and William Hung's singing career can imagine. At 65,881 gallons per minute, you can be sure that eventually planets, spaceships, and the occasional droid will be impaled by an enormous pissicle the size of the Craken's penis and utterly humiliated by anyone that narrowly escaped death at the hands of this golden shower javelin - A much more embarassing death than falling out of one of Bob Ross' happy little trees.
  
  

  
  

  
  The next time you're at Waffle House, I guarantee you're going to remember Star Wars and the deadly tinkle spears falling out of the sky faster than the speed of thought. If the atmosphere's like ours, it might just splash down over you with a slight chance of Sith juice in there somewhere. Then the force will be with you like you wouldn't believe.
