Man with disorder can develop photos with own urine

Talk about making the best out of a genetic disorder....
(couldn't help but post this...)

Alkaptonuria was the first described "inborn error of metabolism." This rare (< 1 per 250 000 births) hereditary recessive disorder is characterized by a triad of excretion of homogentisic acid in the urine, ochronosis (dark pigmentation of the connective tissues) and early-onset arthritis. It results from the absence of an enzyme, homogentisic acid oxidase.

I bet he saved alot of money on film.

"Honey, I've got some negatives to develop."

"Okay, dear, just throw them in the toilet and I'll have my way with them."

I would have to say that's pretty damn cool.

I wouldn't want the disorder though.
