In Manchester, England, they've figured out a way to directly poop-power homes with biomethane gas (converted from city sewage). The gas is pumped directly into people's homes! That's right, kids...you flush your poop down the toilet, and then they send it back to you! Craaaazy!
Not sure how many guys are actually going to be willing to kneel when they pee simply to avoid splatter, but this invention does have that Japanese pop culture cuteness factor going for it...linked page is in Japanese, but I think you kids at home can figure it out...
Now this is some futuristic shit (pun fully intentional): a toilet that converts between a urinal and a sit-down. Although within getting too graphic, even with this advance in science I foresee no end to the age old gender wars due to problems results from the seat up/seat down dilemma....!
...in the middle of a movie, that is! Runpee.com will provide you with exactly the best moments in a given movie to step out for a few minutes to the bathroom, so that you'll miss the least important moments in the film. Not bad...as long as you don't have to poop!! Heheh, I didn't say it, I didn't say "poop"...
From the often annoying tech-blog Gizmodo comes a very practical useful musing, from a guest blogger who's done time on the Space Shuttle, on everything you've ever wanted to know (and some stuff you probably didn't want to know!) about how to poop and pee in space, from Mercury to the Shuttle. Disgustingly fascinating!
From our ever-creative, eco-minded friends in Japan, we have this snappy little practical item for $900 US: you put your food and pet poop into it, and it produces compost for your garden! Oh yeah, and it's shaped like a dog...though we don't think it will mind if you throw your kitty or hamster poop into it as well. And if you can't tell, we're going for a record number of instances of the word poop in a single post. How'd we do?
Okay, this is the cutest use of elephant poop--or maybe any poop!--that we here at Potty Mouth have seen in a while. They hide a camera in a pile of elephant poop to snap secret pictures of adorable lion cubs at play. Brilliant!
You know the slang term "brick shithouse"? Well this story is about building your house out of bricks made of shit--literally. Anything for conservation, folks...
Harrrumph! This toilet don't look so revolutionary or ergonomic in any new way to me...and I'll bet this high-falutin' all-blue space-age construction from one of my former employers (Arizona State...shudder) costs a lot more than a good 'ole "Squat and Gobble" (Sit and Smile) like you can get all over Asia for a...er....smile...
Here's one I bet you kids at home haven't run across yet, despite the booming (heheh) popularity of Twitter these days: some genius has rigged up his office chair so that it automatically tweets a report of his workaday farts on Twitter. If you'd care to follow him--though, heheh, not too closely, we hope!--see the link below. Likewise if you'd like to build your own fart-detecting Twitter chair.
Okay, all you Potty Mouth fetishists: check out this sleek and smooth baby! And make sure to read the accompanying literature; besides mandatory comfort features like seat-warming (about time we caught up to the Japanese!), this unit features things like "washlet cleaning functions" ("You can pick from different washes such an oscillating wash or a soft wash, and also select if you wish to use the air-drying feature"), "Clever CeFiONtect glazing and a Tornado Flush"...sign me up!!
The Clorox Company has offered a $5,000 reward AND a year's worth of cleaning supplies(!) for information leading to the capture of the Porta-Potty Arsonist who's been terrorizing San Francisco's movable outhouse community.
Ever mindful of easing the tensions of living in close quarters with other biological units for long periods of time, NASA has seen fit to address the fact that said biological units--otherwise known as humans--tend to emit various noxious smells from the groin and butt region from time to time. And hey, I didn't say it, I didn't say "fart" or "sweaty crotch smell," heheheh.
This is sooooo Potty Mouth! This guy has created a Flickr set of hand dryers from a wide range of public restrooms. And we approve.
Ah, the Japanese...what will they think of next? Talk about attention to detail... From Coloribus.
Last September, you Potty Mouth fans might remember this item about a toilet-themed restaurant in Taiwan...well, it seems that they've expanded now, to many other cities!
This was originally developed as part of an art exhibition...but, um, I THINK it's real...
I'll bet IKEA didn't even know they were in the cat poop disposal business! I like the way the inventor of this added a towel for the cat to wipe his paws when he's done burying his poops...very thoughtful.
Hmm, I never thought they needed a special apparatus or anything to do this...? But here you have it, a new "attachment" being marketed to help women use the urinals in men's bathrooms...
Hmm, you'd think if they could afford a ring that expensive, they'd eat at a fancier restaurant than the "Black Bear Diner"...
We've all heard the urban myth about how you can dissolve a human tooth by soaking it in Coca Cola, right? Well, this one's apparently true: you can use everyone's favorite abrasive, acidic soft drink to clean those scary-looking ground-in poop stains out of your crapper!
