The Dead Sea Incident (Public Hot Tub Dilemma)

I won’t get into the hot tub at the gym anymore because I hear that it is really germy. We all know that kiddy pools are often germ filled because little kids pee in the water. Maybe not on purpose, they just do and it’s very common.  But adult hot tubs can also be germ filled because grown people also pee in them or simply plunge their unwashed bodies into the hot water.  They think the hot water will kill off all the germs but I am told by some reliable scientific sources; that some very nasty germs like hot water. 

But the ocean is different right? Who hasn't peed in the ocean. A person needing to go should maybe move away from the other swimmers and out into deeper water. Here in deep water; the waves, strong ocean currents and a high concentration of salt should dilute urine in seconds flat, right?

But what if a large number of people peed into the ocean at the same time, what affect would that have on the environment?  It’s a fair question and after doing some historic research, I found that a precedent has already been set in ancient times.  Thousands of years ago, an army of thousands of guys peed at the same time into what was once known as, The Crystal Blue Sea. This body of water still exists today but after that onslaught every living thing in the water died. After that the water itself died. People then began referring to the Crystal Blue Sea as the "The Dead Sea" and the name stuck. And yes, the fashionably dressed guys pictured above were heavily involved in this disturbing incident. True story?
