The name is due to Bill Gosper, who compared the bookends to kidneys. A '''diuretic''' is something which encourages the body to urinate. For instance, alcholic bevarages are diuretics, which cause dehydration due to water loss. This is the principal cause of a hangover. | |||

Diuresis is a period 90 oscillator consisting of two bookends hassled by complicated eaters. The original oscillator was found by David Eppstein, and was hassled by pentadecathlons. Later that same day, Dean Hickerson replaced the pentadecathlons with the still life arrangement.
Etymology
The name is due to Bill Gosper, who compared the bookends to kidneys. A diuretic is something which encourages the body to urinate. For instance, alcholic bevarages are diuretics, which cause dehydration due to water loss. This is the principal cause of a hangover.
