[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9280386, member: 7038835"] And like... to be fair, Justin doesn't address this with any of the respect it actually deserves or as evidence of respect, etc. It's just in there as a generic disease detection and someone it also enables you to cure disease once a week. Pee actually has a pretty fascinating history of utility in human history. Hippocrates used it to diagnose diabetes, countless cultures used it for dying and/or cleaning cloth (as well as other industrial applications), and it was even believed that it was incorporated into doing shrooms in a religious way in Siberia. It also has a history of being used to whiten teeth. But nothing in Justin's work indicates he knows or cares about any of that, it just comes up in Goblinz because he wants to retroactively vandalize the room of pool from [I]In search of the Unknown[/I] by Mike Carr, and in Orcz it just seems to be there 'cause well - it shows that there are orcs who drink pee... right after a weird "introduction" that also tells you they make terrible anti-perfume scents... "much like wild bears, to show dominance." With just about any kind of work, there's a potential do the work for them in establishing a valid connection in there, but its really up to the author to put that connection in there in the first place. I am extremely confident there is not revelation later in the book, not just because of how poorly executed the pee gimmick in Goblinz was but because he's already set up a weird idea where orcz don't do academic learning (except for engineering...) and don't care about understanding nature. As an extra side note, can we appreciate how Justin gives tattoo artists super powers? [ATTACH type="full" alt="1709449447091.png"]349208[/ATTACH] That bit gets even worse when you remember that he once again collaborated on this with Dave Johnson of "slavery by custom" Star Frontiers: New Genesis infamy.
