Dear Mr. Ed- Yesterday, you asked: >And what is the normal duration urination time? (of the ferret.) Yes, someone has actually recorded the duration of enough mustellid urination events to yield a body of information large enough to derive statistically significant figures from it, such as the L.O.W. (length of wee) for weasels. However, the figure in question is of high intelligence value, and access to it is at this time closely guarded by Homeland Security. It is kept in a lead lined box in a hardened, secure location with Dick Cheney and his tinfoil hat collecton. Sorry. Alexandra in MA [Posted in FML 6229]
