Ok, this is really weird, but over the last couple of days, sometimes, when I pee, there's like this gray film that settles at the bottom of the toilet. It's almost like a really fine ash or something. It doesn't hurt and I don't feel sick but it is quite alarming. It's not everytime, but like every 3 or 4 times that it is noticeable. I am a 27 year old male in average health and have never had any urinary problems or kidney issues or anything like that. Any idea what it might be? Has anyone else had this?

visit your doctor or urgent care.

I would suggest that you see a doctor. I've never heard of anything like this, but it's probably harmless. Are you taking some kind of medicines or supplements? Often times certain substances we ingest will show up in the urine. As long as there is no hematuria (blood in the urine), I don't think there's anything to worry about. But why not check with your M.D., just for your own peace of mind? Good luck!

Ok - this actually sounds like a bit of "old" blood, or some sort of sediment from your urine. Unless you are using some new/different chemical in your toilet to keep it clean, I think it would be enough to send me to the doctor to find out what's going on.
Good luck.

From Answers.com! :)
Normal urine is straw yellow to amber in color. Abnormal colors include bright yellow, brown, black (gray), red, and green. These pigments may result from medications, dietary sources, or diseases. For example, red urine may be caused by blood or hemoglobin, beets, medications, and some porphyrias. Black-gray urine may result from melanin (melanoma) or homogentisic acid (alkaptonuria, a result of a metabolic disorder). Bright yellow urine may be caused by bilirubin (a bile pigment). Green urine may be caused by biliverdin or certain medications. Orange urine may be caused by some medications or excessive urobilinogen (chemical relatives of urobilinogen). Brown urine may be caused by excessive amounts of prophobilin or urobilin (a chemical produced in the intestines).
In short - go see your doc! Be well!
