Myth: I've heard that you
can take a pregnant woman's urine and mix it with drano to tell the sex
of the baby.
Truth: The drano test
supposedly can detect something in a pregnant woman's urine that will
change the color of the drano to indicate the gender of the baby.
However, this is absolutely false. In addition to that, I must warn you
that it is extremely dangerous to mix urine and drano because of the
possibility of fumes and of explosion.
Currently we know of nothing that is excreted in a pregnant woman's
urine to be able for us to predict the gender of her baby. -- Robin

Comments: Lots of
people swear this is true and offer their own personal experiences to
back it up, but the sum of all the anecdotes you hear and read still
don't add up to proof.
One reason is that no one seems to agree on how to properly interpret
the results of the test. As with all superstitions, the specifics tend
to vary according to who's telling the tale. For example, all of the
following have been offered on the Internet as "the key" to
interpreting the Drano test:
- Bluish yellow = boy
Greenish brown = girl
- Brownish = boy
No change = girl
- Brown = boy
Green = girl
- Black = boy
Blue = girl
- Blue = boy
Green = girl
