[NSFW] How long would it take the Sheriff of Nottingham to collect enough of Robin Hood's urine in order to boil him in it?

Asked by ragingloli (52278points) November 21st, 2023

In the 2018 Robin Hood movie, the Sheriff infamously threatens Robin Hood to “boil him in his own piss”.
How long would it take him to collect sufficient fluid in order to execute this threat, depending on boiling vessel size?

One liter per day. So about 2 month’s.

Depends on how true to his word the Sheriff is.

There’s no great advantage to boiling Robin in his own piss. What makes Robin’s urine any more effective than anyone else’s? And by the time Sheriff could have collected that much urine from a single source, Robin might have escaped or the whole threat might have been forgotten.

If I were the Sheriff, I would have gone to the townspeople with a large pail (or two or three) and asked them ALL to contribute. He could collect gallons in the course of a day or two, and get his vengeance in a matter of 48 hours instead of months.

And since the Sheriff is a dishonorable person anyway, no one is going to hold him to his initial vow.

He should ask the peons. (pun intended)

Less if you use an air fryer.

Sure. As long as you do not cook with ham. Not on ham.

@RedDeerGuy1 is onto something, but he is forgetting evaporation. But I am more amused by the threat in the first place. It would be more insulting to boil him in someone else’s piss.

@seawulf575 After evaporation the remaining piss would be concentrated, and can easily mixed with fresh water.

@RedDeerGuy1 But what fun would that be?

@seawulf575 Why would it not be fun? You might accidentally make gunpowder from the urine salts. BOOM!

Blow the piss out of him. Nice!
