They aren't all that nice looking, mostly they just look weird

London has had iconic public toilets for years - see:

And why did the health consultant think breakfast was an appropriate moment to talk about colour charts for piss?

So, no doric or corinthian public toilets? What? Oh, nevermind.

Fivver - they would be Ionic toilets but nice try.
Posted by: Dr Acula | June 26, 2006 at 11:49 AM
but it can be difficult for men using the urinal
sounds like a personal problem to me
personally, i don't see the problem - if tourists want to take pictures of me takin' a pee, more power too 'em, i say - but if i was a bettin' man, my money would be on them waitin' till i was done before they snapped the picture

snork@fivver
Is this the kind of toilet you have to click on with your mouse to open? Does Steve Jobs know about this?

What do they expect? Hello, it's a PUBLIC toilet, not a private one.

congress' record

Pee color charts to see if you're drinking enough water? That's all I need - pee guilt.

A fish hanging on the wall beside me as I pee. That's a lovely image.

Ya know, lots of beer dilutes you pee as well. I'm more in favor of that than water!

Destination Toilets: It’s the place to pee.

Or maybe to 'pee' and 'pee seen.'

What I want to know is, what does asparagus do to your pee? Make it green?
I know vitamin B2 makes it fluorescent yellow - go ahead, try it!
I myself have been trying to raise my per-day hydration quota. Gimme that water bottle!
And if you want to see a funny movie that covers pee-shyness, rent "Waiting".
Laughing at the memory of the "game" in that movie -- tee hee!
Oh, that was funny!
Oops.

Thanks Sarah, I was wondering where the pictures were.
And talk about creeping fascism! Hanging a "pee chart" in the loos was one way to make sure workers were drinking enough water
Who is going to inspect the results? Talk about Big Brother!!!

I don't think asparagus would change the color.

I never knew.
Phew.

How about a class in toilet architecture in college? It would have been better than some of the classes I took.
I have heard that asparagus changes the odor of your pee, but I haven't heard about color.

I was simply horrified to learn that Australia was number 2 behind America as being the second most unhealthy country. Americans everywhere need to start looking at their pee. I mean that they should do this not once, not twice, but at least three times a day. They should drink lots and lots of water while on the job. (The water cooler is a good place to start) And they should drink only beer after they get off from work. Oh! yes. They need to have a portable potty close at hand at all times or go to the grocery store and buy lots an lots of DEpends, or giant size Kotex.

The urinals are quite amazing. Check out the pics on the URL above. thanks for expanding everyones horizons.

This probably doesn't qualify as red-hot science, but it's warm enough to spark differing opinions.
*Finds something humorous anout someone using the word "warm" in SarahJ's article*

"The ideas are all part of a battle against 'presenteeism', which is when workers go to work but underperform because of medical issues, often related to lack of exercise and sleep and a poor diet."
Yesterday is was sexless. Today it was presenteeism. Get a thesaurus, people. This is ungood.
