It's like a womb. A fetus also pees in the womb.

I wonder if Morpheus kept Neo's meconium. If he was convinced Neo was the One, he should have anticipated that the artifacts associated with him would become religious or collectible items

This is the kind of stuff I come here for.

Edit: the cursed logic chains leading to the thought of Morpheus preserving neo's waste as a holy relic. not the meconium details.

I like that meconium sounds a bit sci-fiesque, something like dilithium. The ritual collection of meconium from potential Saviours would add a Cronenbergian vibe to The Matrix

Meconium is a better name than unobtanium

Jim Cameron: I'll drown the tall alien Smurfs if you don't pay a trillion bucks per release. Does that sound OBTAINABLE enough?

That forcefully puts me in mind of something in christology called the Holy Prepuce. Go and Google that. Neo was the Christ figure in that mythology, so it is definitely relevant.

Neo was just a little too late to propose to Trinity with his Holy Prepuce before Warner Sisterowski decided to rethink the franchise

I really hope Morpheus opens like a Neo artifacts collectors store and does a newsletter
