The World’s Most High-Tech Urinal

This blog entry is not particular cutting edge technology, but it is very funny. Especially as my girlfriend is from Victoria and she will be appalled that we have put this on the naked chasm blog. Personally I think this is a top idea - I would certainly use it, just for novelty factor.

In an effort to handle its night time public urination problem, Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is considering installing urinals that disappear below street level during the day. The Urilift system is a two-meter high stainless steel cylinder with three alcoves, each with a urinal, and no doors.

By day, the Urilift is lowered below street level for a nice clean look. Then at night, an operator comes by with a remote and the Urilift hydraulically lifts to sidewalk level in about two minutes. Then the unit is ready to serve all the nighttime party animals who don’t mind peeing in a very exposed public urinal.

I have to say, this is way better than those nasty urinals they have in Piccadilly Gardens...

You'd have to be pretty well oiled to use one of those.
