#2 I thought that you used urine for leather tanning, which is one reason the process stinks so bad.

Could it be that they gave an award to some dude who put goat pee in a bottle?

#3 An institute under the Ministry of Light Industry of the Democratic Peopleâs Republic of Korea has developed a new kind of enzyme for leather tanning.

It is only effective after tenderizing the leather by pounding it with super flat stone blocks....

#4 The enzyme also makes the leather really tasty, so people boiling their shoes to fend off starvation can enjoy their meals.

#5 Just be sure when you're making that shoe soup that you don't forget to add your medicinal stone.

#7 They can use the leather to fasten those improved stones to a stick and make a ax.
Kinda hard to do when you've already eaten the stick...
