How The iPhone's SIRI Reacts When You Fart

Interesting not just for its obvious Potty Mouth relevance, but for questions of AI and machine interpretation of human speech.  And...well, farts.

Beautify While You Pee in Paris!

We all know how public urination, which men 'round the world seem to feel is their god-given right, uglies up the urban environment.  Well, in Paris, they've found a way to still give men their, er, "freedom," while also growing flowers!

Hanoi Taxi Drivers Fined...for Peeing?!

Now, we here at Potty Mouth are always grateful for administrative efforts to keep the streets clean and hygienic...and lord knows, we know how men of every culture and nation love to exercise their ease to relieve themselves in the #1 fashion pretty much wherever they please...but folks, we've been to Vietnam, and pee in Hanoi is not the major problem that needs attending to...it's poop in Saigon!  Let's just say, any well-informed pedestrian in that southern metropolis knows to give a wide berth to any fence (such as those erected around construction sites), for fear of the odors that may come wafting over from the other side, due to males scaling the fence for quick relief...    That said, the diligence of the Hanoi constabulary needs to be acknowledged in this incident.

Reverse Sewage System to Power UK Homes

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!

Solution for Pee Splatter

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...

His and Hers Toilet

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....!

Futuristic Toilet is Both a Sit-Down and a Urinal

Website Tells You When to Pee

...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"...

How to Poop in Space: Part II, The Nitty-Gritty

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!

Dog-Shaped Poop Composter

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?

Elephant Poop Camera Catches Cute Lion Cubs in Action

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...

Spiffed-Up US Version of "Squat and Smile"

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...

Potty Mouth Episode 13: Dude, Where's My Sink?

That's right, kids...it's a brand-new edition of Potty Mouth (tm), and this one's not even from the archives, it was produced last November as part of the MAC Reunion Special! In this episode, Bong and On investigate a California studio apartment with, shall we say, a "nontraditional plumbing arrangement."

Tweeting Your Farts on Twitter

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.

Soccer Player Reprimanded for Farting

Talk about weapons of mass destruction! In England, a soccer player (they call them "footballers" over there) was given a penalty warning by a referee for farting! Next time, I'm sure he'll remember to use his silencer...! heheheheh

Dog Poops Out $400

We've heard stories like this before, but this one is noteworthy because of the overuse of bad poop (and other) puns by CNN, heheh...oh yeah, and one of the comments on the YouTube posting of it: "I only watched this because it's about poop." We here at Potty Mouth know what you mean, buddy. We know what you mean.
