I can't claim the title, as that comes straight from the New Scientist, but they do have an interesting article on the effects of pee:
Despite making up only 1 per cent of the volume of waste water, urine contributes about 80 per cent of the nitrogen and 45 per cent of all the phosphate. Peeing into the pan immediately dilutes these chemicals with vast quantities of water, making the removal process unnecessarily inefficient.
Worth a read, just probably not when you're eating...
