Port-A-Potty to the Stars

Major Tom to ground control: the urine collection unit is on the fritz again.

International Space Station astronauts are eagerly awaiting the arrival of shuttle Discovery - it is bringing a new pump to mend their broken toilet.

"Eagerly" here being defined as hopping from one foot to the other and not thinking about running water.  I'm sure all that astronaut training comes in handy.  Don't break the seal!
