Worst jobs in history, via Baldric

By at 9:18 am Tuesday, Sep 28

Tony Robinson, who played Baldric on Black Adder, is doing a new TV show called "The Worst Jobs in History" in which he undertakes to perform history's vilest tasks every week.
And there's no more powerful alkaline solution than two-week old human urine – and it's free!

I tell you, after two weeks it doesn't smell like wee, it smells like burying your nose in uncooked liver.

For the show I used our crew member's wee – and the job involves dancing around in it bare foot for two hours per length of cloth.
