The Cornucopia is just asking for trouble, given how poorly most guys aim.

Splash back, so refreshing when wearing shorts on a hot day.

This "important scientific study" is probably funded from some "Grant", and cost Millions?

Piss on it; we're trillions in debt, pissing away our taxpayers' $$$$$$.

Not a new concept. I thought this was one reason many older urinals extended to the floor. Aim it to hit the urinal wall halfway down and no splashback.

Yeah, and it doesn't look too short-people friendly either.

And they were usually curved inward so that the splashes, if any, would still be caught ......................

Tim Walz, the sitzpinkler, wants men in Minnesota to sit while peeing. They’ll hire washroom attendants to enforce the policy.

Wonderful that they are developing new urinals that stop splashback.

The problem that I have is politicians like Marx Carnage urinating on my head, and telling me it is rain. There is one way to stop this, but Laurentianists haven’t figured this out yet. They prefer to dance around and celebrate in the ‘rain’.

It seems the design should also accommodate women who may wish to use the urinal. Can’t discriminate. Wouldn’t be prudent. :-)

This is why I always pee on the inside edge of the urinal instead of the back because the angle is over 70°. No splashback.

Urinal design could be better because the flat face of the urinal gets urine everywhere.
