...make your pee smell funny?
(had creamy asparagus and fennel pasta for dinner last night :P)

Googled.....
An interesting result of taking asparagus root can be a distinctive odor in the urine. If this is the case for you, don't worry--it's harmless. According to one study of 800 volunteers, about 40% of people have this reaction. The latest findings indicate that it's more likely the ability to detect the odor--rather than the tendency to generate it--that is at play. Researchers speculate that those who smell it have inherited a specific genetic trait.
Apparently it can make your pee go blue/green! :o
More:
IF YOU have been tucking into asparagus this week, you may have noticed a certain side-effect — to put it frankly, your urine will smell. This is because asparagus contains the amino acid methionine, which contains sulphur, leading to a faint trace of rotten-egg syndrome.
