From Cormac Byrne
Your coverage of the 21-second universal law of urination (26 October, p 18) reminds me it has been common knowledge on the British music scene for years. The garage act So Solid Crew in their 2001 hit 21 Seconds were in full agreement with the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
You get a real sense of the artist’s bladder frustration in the lyrics: “I got 21 seconds to flow. I got 21 seconds to go… don’t gimmie no deadline gimmie some more time… I got 21 seconds to go”. Poetically put.
