Is there really a chemical that turns urine blue in a pool?

If you were some "Artsy Fartsy" philosophy film student who uses 13 letter words in the rants they write on the bathroom walls of their University washroom, you probably would say Grown Ups was a representation of the decline of the Western Civilization as we know it. Is it us or technology that has made us forget the simple things in life? I wonder if skipping rocks on the water would have been so much fun growing up if we had X-boxes and PS3's?
The Stereotypical Role- Reversal sounds like a move even Mary-Lou Retton might not be able to stick, but this movie pulls it off by creating new ways to poke fun at people and packaging it in nostalgia. Speaking of that....
My fave part of this movie was the water park. It took me back to my youth, when a couple of buddies and I were 13 and we did anything we could including running over sharp gravel just to get in line for the multi tiered white water slide behind a group of four hot 18 yr old girls wearing skimpy bikinis.
Once we were on the slide behind them, we'd crash our inner tubes into them creating a splashing dog pile and reach for anything we could to keep us afloat. I still remember the End-Zone dance my buddy did after getting a hold of the one girl's bikini top that was unable to support both my friend and her breast at the same time exposing her right there on the slide...It looked like an accident to them, but they got suspicious when we were always behind them in line to go on that particular slide....Ahh the memories...
Grown ups is just that... a funny look at the memories of our youth,and the crazy things we did growing up....
