Drinking Muhammad's Urine a Blessing?

The following is the opening paragraph from an article in today's New York Times entitled, A Compass That Can Clash With Modern Life:

CAIRO, June 11 — First came the breast-feeding fatwa. It declared that the Islamic restriction on unmarried men and women being together could be lifted at work if the woman breast-fed her male colleagues five times, to establish family ties. Then came the urine fatwa. It said that drinking the urine of the Prophet Muhammad was deemed a blessing.

Bronco, have they implemented the breast-feeding policy at Cerner yet?

Breast feeding...yeah right. Sounds more like a membership drive!

Questions:
Does she actually have to be lactating for it to be considered "breast feeding"?
Does the male get to fondle one while suckling the other?
Does "five times" mean 5 sittings total, or 5 times per individual breast?

Just a little due diligence before I recommend that my single friends start looking for work in Cairo ... so long as they steer clear of that Muhammad dude.

Yeah Bronc, recommend this one to Neal and watch what his stock does then.

Sarge,

You raise some good questions. Next time I'm at the Mosque I'll ask the Imam and report back. What's funny about this is is an unobservant Jason Oldham thought for whatever reason that maybe I was Muslim, and that he had offended me, at his bachelor party last weekend. This exchange between us occured as I was chewing on a pork chop and washing it down with a cold can of Coors Light.

WOW... I don't know what else say.
