The $300,000 toilet.

Key Quote: "There were more complications on this one than on any toilet we've worked on."

(Thanks to Guin, who says, "For $300,000, it should poop FOR you.")

Maybe they should have considered this design.

Did anybody else notice the line in the article that stated Boston's new public toilets typically cost two hundred and fifty thousand dollars apiece?

I mean, the only atypical thing about this toilet is that it only cost twenty percent more than normal. For certain values of "normal."

Wonder if Massachusetts residents are beginning to regret not repealing the state income tax when they had the chance to do so in last years election?

Everything's gold plated on the off chance that someday one of the Kennedy clan might have to use it.

Thankfully, the City of Boston doesn't have to pay anything at all (and certainly not the state, oops, Commonwealth) of Massachusetts..

though one imagines that the advertising might get a little strident to cover these costs..

But never fear, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has many, many other ways to burn (my) money..

Big Dig 2: Another Expensive Toilet

[Will]

Steve, I'm going to go ahead and send my therapist's bills to you. That singing, dancing, clown urinal is the most horrifying thing ever. Thanks a lot.

After the Big Dig, I think we are lucky it's that cheap!!
