Re: MtMan-List: period tanning / Alans comments

At the risk of getting a little "kinky", I've read on a couple of
occasion that the trade of the "Tinker" involved he collection of urine
(especially female due to it's supposed higher urea content) for the
production of gunpowder in early colonial times. Perhaps "tanning" was
also involved....????  OK..rake me over the coals!!!!
And lets not get pissy over this.
