I'm not making this up, either.

Two companies have come up with the same idea: urinals with video games controlled by urine.

As long as it isn't "Spell your name in print form".
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I think tan will like this. Is there a home version? Can you play online? Will there be a wii-wii version?

I think WBT already has the wee version.

Neither sounds as entertaining as a rousing game of sink the floater. And it requires a lot less electronics and the resultant risk of electrocution!

Of course that game requires two trips to the throne, once to "create" the target and once to sink it, as well as a sufficiently fatty diet to make the target as bouyant as possible.

Or some remarkable timing, dexterity and flexibility which should generally be reserved for we experts.

Or is that wee experts?

Do you realize how slow and obstructed the online gaming community would be if you were to proffer your wares on a regular basis?
