Of No Interest To Our Lady Readers,

but for us guys a few ideas about splash-less urinals,

photograph M. Shi and Z. Pan/University of Waterloo, if you majored in physics and then got a graduate degree in fluid dynamics and wanted to design a splash-less loo, above are some of the ideas you might come up with, mechanical engineer Zhao Pan and his colleagues at the University of Waterloo in Canada (no I did not make the University of Waterloo up!), have designed a urinal that employs the same geometry as a nautilus shell, with a round inner surface that ensures a shallow angle to minimize splashing. The tall fixture also accommodates people of various heights, it is the urinal second from the right in the above image, the team presented their urinal to attendees of the American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in Indianapolis, if successful expect loo number 2 in your local pub and restaurant, next on the list, a mechanism to stop drunks swaying as they stand using the urinal!
