10. The Urinals of Dairy Queen
I have been to plenty of Dairy Queens in my life and have never come across this contraption. Apparently it is called a "She-inal" and not more than 700 of them were sold before Urinette, the company that manufactured it, sold the manufacturing rights. Too awesome.
9. The John Michael Kohler Arst Center of Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
These urinals were constructed by New York Artist Matt Nolen. He did three urinals along with three sinks and two stalls. You would think that every major arts center across the US would take pride in the urinals that their patrons use, but it seems as though only the good folks of Sheboygan, Wisconsin know what is best for us. Art: Just as good in the bathroom as in a museum.
8. The Urinals of Hat Noppharat Thara - Phi Phi Islands National Park
These spectacular outdoor fixtures are located in Thailand's Hat Noppharat Thara - Phi Phi Islands National Park in Ma Ya Bay on the island of Phi Phi Le (enough Phis for you?). The closest town to this location, made famous by the movie The Beach, which was filmed here, is Krabi, Thailand. Looking at these urinals you have to wonder two things:
- What is the point?
- Where does it go?
7. The Urinals of Stockholm-Arlanda Airport
These might be the first urinals where the look of them beats the view out the window. You almost would think that they wouldn't bother with any windows and just paint everything as the designer of the urinals did. Might make for a more pleasurable experience.
6. The Felix bar and restaurant of Hong Kong.
The Felix is a exclusive (children under 12 are not allowed) bar and restauarant located on the top floor of the Peninnsula Hotel in Hong Kong. The story behind these urinals is that originally there none to be found. Patrons simply urinated against the glass over looking the city and censors would send down water to wash it away through a drain at the bottom. I suppose people weren't to keen to this so the urinals were added, but they kept the breathtaking view.
5. The Urinals of St. Christopher's at the Winston
I'm going to leave this one alone since the jokes become a bit too obvious.
4. The Urinals of Rothesay, Isle of Bute
These bathrooms make you feel as though your urine needs an elite status just to use. Then you are left with the ultimate decision of whether you go with the inner loop or outer loop for your urinating pleasure. These kinds of decisions should not have to be made in the restroom and therefore I consider this system poorly implemented.
3. Clark Sorensen Nature's Call
Does anyone else get a bad vision of the Little Shop of Horrors when they look at these? All I can hear is "Feed me!" and well I guess that is what you are doing if you are using them. These urinals were obviously constructed by an alien plant race in the attempt of global domination through urine.
2. The Urinals of Taj Mahalfli
I'm not going to lie. I am greatly disappointed in the bathrooms of the Taj Mahal. Although the pillars add a great effect that can't be found anywher eelse the simple fact that this monument was constructed for the guy's wife you would think we would be given nothing but the best in urinary sanitation. Apparently he didn't love her that much.
1. The Urinals of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station
This gets the stop spot not because of its brilliance or look, but because someone actually took the time to construct an urinal at the South Pole and (hopefully) found a place to actually drain that urine. Way to mess up one of our most pure environments. Not even going to ask about the toilets.
Big ups to Urinal.net who did most of the work for this list, but from which I was able to reorder and remix with my own commentary. There is a site for everything today it seems.
