Hey, ever wondered why sometimes after you take a leak, you get a shiver? Well, keep wondering.
Commonly known as the "Pee Shakes" or if you're an adult, the "Piss Shivers." It's a tingling sensation down the spine which causes an involuntary twitch. [...]
According to research, 83 percent of males say they've experienced this, but only 58 percent of females have gotten the shivers--probably the whole "standing vs. sitting" thing.
Before you click on through, we're gonna go ahead and tell you that this Cracked article doesn't actually give you the answer to this most pressing question, but rather theorizes that it has something to do with your body losing warmth when you take a leak -- which we think you probably had already guessed.
Why would we spoil it for you and Cracked? MIght have something to do with the really rank picture of someone's tongue covered in black, hairy fungus elsewhere on the page. Don't be tempted to look. Don't. Don't!
(Sorry to waste your time like this. We kind of just wanted to have a headline with the phrase "piss shivers" in it.)
