Rich or poor if you had to hold it in for a long time you'd explode. :D Actually, the famous 16th century Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe, died of a burst bladder. He was dining with an emperor or king or someone (can't recall which one) and the custom and etiquette of the court demanded that no one could get up from the table until the lord did, and Tycho had too much to drink and waited and waited and waited and eventually his bladder burst. Or so goes the story, anyway. (He probably actually died of mercury poisoning, which has symptoms consistent with uremia, but back in the early 17th century when he died they had no way to test for such things.) bonni
