Believe it or not, there are scientists out there who are working tirelessly to improve our experience with restroom URINALS . . . and apparently, they've just had a breakthrough.
One of the biggest problems with urinals is the SPLASHING issue . . . but scientists have developed a new design that drastically reduces splash-back.
Unlike a standard, rectangular urinal, this one is tall and narrow . . . and there's also a triangular opening that extends back to a crease against the wall.
Imagine the shape like this: It's like using a letter opener to cut open the top of a giant envelope . . . prying it open with your fingers . . . and peeing into it. (???)
So it can cut down on splatter . . . IF you can hit the narrower target.
The design was just presented at the annual meeting of the "American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics" in Indiana last week, so it's too early to say when you might start seeing them.
