Halloween

Hey all, its Halloween today so I wanted to share with you some images from a shaky-hard-to-watch youtube video that I was linked to (thanks Evan).

Let me set the stage: You are at some sleezy club, and its Halloween. You go into the bathroom to go pee.



Hrmmm.....there aren't any dividers for the toilets or anything. Oh well....



Hey look, there's an available toilet.





Surprise!

Awkward?

I'm a big fan of being direct, of getting right to the point, of not beating around the bush, etc. But sometimes it can go too far.



There's no mystery. Sometimes you want mystery.

Gender Equality, Continued

It's not that often that you get to follow an idea as it evolves. In my previous post, I showed you how the makers of a portable urinal have adapted it for female use. But their solution did nothing to address the core question: Why was the original version of the urinal easier for a man to use than it is for a woman? It is clearly because men can aim. Think of all the other places where this ability to aim comes in handy, like when you are standing up. Well, the people of SHENIS have developed the universal solution:



Here it is in action:

Gender Equality

My dad is a private pilot and sometimes we take relatively long trips in a small little Cessna. By long, I mean ~5 hours, and by small little cessna, I mean it doesn't have any bathrooms. How can you take a 5 hour trip without a bathroom? Why, you purchase an HRE- Human Range Extender, like this one, the Little John*:



A brightly colored, portable urinal.

Now, this may seem a little bit unfair. Obviously it is far easier for a man to essentially pee in a bottle than it is for a woman to do the same. Thankfully, the bathroom engineers responsible for this product spent some time tackling this entrenched inequity and developed the Lady J adapter:



They go together like this:



Problem solved.

Someone once told me that every great journey begins with a trip to the bathroom. Gender equality will prevail.

*Note: Apparently a competitor to the Little John was marketed under the name "The Wall Street Urinal"

Toilet Themed Restaurant

I got linked to a blog post about a toilet themed restaurant in Taiwan. Seemingly everything about this place has to do with toilets...

From the seats...



To the decor....



Don't worry though, dear readers, for I have saved the best picture for last, like a little bit of dessert:




Mmmmmmmmmm!
