Inflight Urinal Money-Maker

Urinal by ~whooptishit

Can it be that urinals might soon be taking off on major long haul flights?

In a recent article for the online version of the German news magazine Der Spiegel, Andrew Curry writes about a German company that's been busy designing a prototype pissoir for the new Airbus A380. The company, Dasell, hopes that if its concept is a hit, other airlines might start outfitting their long haul planes with them.

There seems to be interest. Dasell unveiled its urinal design at an airline industry expo in Hamburg, Germany, in April and many took notice. The reason? Like seemingly everything else these days in the industry, the cripling cost of fuel could make installing urinals on aircraft a way for carriers to earn a little extra money.

Dasell says their urinal lavatories take up less space -- the equivalent of four seats -- than traditional unisex lavatories. Given that most long haul aircraft have nearly 10 toilets, replacing some of them with the more compact urinals could result in getting a few more paying customers in seats.

It's certainly a more intriguing money-making idea than simply charging for a second piece of checked baggage. Of course, one wonders why it's taken the industry so long to conclude that urinals might be a good thing, both for bottom lines and -- given, as Curry puts it, the inconsistent aim of many men, especially in turbulance -- bottoms in general.

For cash-strapped airlines, inflight urinals could be a money-maker

Place to Pee Video Game

TWO Belgian beer fans have launched a video game named Place to Pee, which allows players to fly down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals.

Werner Dupont, a software developer and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking beers.

The Place to Pee' booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games - blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope.

Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.

A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.

Their Place to Pee logo resembles Manneken Pis, the little urinating boy fountain that is among Brussels' top sightseeing attractions.

A Urinal of Influence


Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, 1917, photographed by Alfred Stieglitz at his 291 gallery after the 1917 Society of Independent Artists exhibit.

Duchamp was a major influence on Rauschenberg, so I thought this might be worth featuring as an overall memorial.

RIP Robert Rauschenberg

Clinton puts press in the toilet

SHOCKER: Hillary Clinton Puts Press in the Toilet
In order to thank reporters for their bias towards her campaign over the past couple days, Senator Hillary Clinton arranged special accommodations for her press corps.
The men’s bathroom.
Information is coming in this morning from the
CNN Political Ticker and Time showing reporters set up and typing away in the restroom. Personally, I would say that this shows the way Hillary treats the press and ultimately will treat the American people; however, the Clinton campaign has returned this comment from Doug Hattaway:
“These accommodations should in no way be taken as a commentary on the quality of our media coverage.”
Are you sure?

Public Restroom with Fishnets on the Floor


More illusionary public bathroom ads

Setting The Story Straight On The Merrill Bonus Rage
Earlier this afternoon, CNBC’s Charlie Gasparino reported that some guy in Merrill Lynch’s fixed income research group had “inappropriately relieved” himself in protest of the downsizing of his bonus. Merrill has officially explained that this was simply an unfortunate accident, and then the bank turned red and scurried to the other side of the room.
We’ve been digging into this story because the way it’s told by the delicate souls at CNBC, it’s way to vague. What worse, the vagueness is giving rise to rumors that are totally untrue. It's fast becoming the Wall Street equivalent of an urban legends. Here’s what didn’t happen: a guy did not urinate on his desk because he was “pissed off.” The real story is so much worse.
In the first place, it wasn’t piss. It was shit. DealBreaker can confirm this much. After that the details get a bit fuzzy. The way we first heard it is that a guy took a dump in the rest room, stomped in it, and then dragged it all over the place by walking around with it on his shoes. Merrill’s story is that there was “an unfortunate accident” in one of the stalls—which we take to mean that some guy smeared his shit all over the bathroom because how the Hell could you miss the toilet—and that another person inadvertently stepped in it and tracked it all over.
So now you know.
