Yay! Home Urinals.

Wired 13.03: The King of Thrones

Big article about high tech and toilet design. Near the end it talks about how acceptance of home urinals is starting as people realize it's stupid to use 1.6 gallons of water to flush a cup of urine down the toilet. I have always wanted a urinal at home.
