New Urinal-Based Video Game Makes a Splash
Those who enjoy drinking beer, playing video games, and (oddly enough) peeing in urinals may be able to reach true nirvana after all. "Place to Pee" is a new video game that relies on a player's ability to hit sensors in a urinal to control game play. While this may seem extremely male-centric, don't worry, ladies, the game designers have thought of you too, and have designed a specialized paper cone for participation. Man, it's a bad day to be a janitor.
..so we're reduced to this, now? *puts bag over head in shame* No wonder the aliens won't openly visit us!
I'm definately not playing this with any of the guys who used to reach over and slap my controller when I was beating them on Nintendo games.
Wanna fight ? Bend over, stick your head up your ass, and fight for air.
Man, it's a bad day to be a janitor.
/ex-janitor.
It's always a bad day to be a janitor.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Personally, I love it when I go to a bar and they have ice cubes in the bottom of the urinal ... and I defy any man here (especially after a few beers) to resist the urge to strategically and enthusiastically pee all over the ice cubes, melting them individually, melting them in groups, moving over to despoil a fresh zone ... it's tremendously good fun.
Quality of play will be piss-poor.

I had to laugh. For the benefit of those not fully familiar with English (probably originally Irish) slang, "to have a slash" means to take a pee. Thus, it is quite appropriate that a game that involves peeing to hit a target should appear on Slashdot.
Inquiring minds want to know -- has "I.P. Freely" made it onto the High Scores list yet?
And, will there be a port for the Nintendo Wii? I bet it would make a big splash in the market.

DO NOT EAT THE POWER PILL.
:(
I tried. It gave me no bonuses. It just made me feel kinda weird. Didn't taste like a mint either.
This actually isn't a bad idea. A while back there was a story about the urinal fly, and how urinal in Amsterdam have a sticker of a little fly on them because they found that it improved people's aim when they had something to focus on. This seems like the same principle taken to the next level.
The bold print giveth, and the fine print taketh away
It doesn't take a whiz to see that this video game will soon become number one.
Ah, the multi-player version!
A post a day keeps productivity at bay.
I'd for years thought to try to come up with some form fitting funnel with a hose attached to it they could use.
I mean...you're driving downt he road, and in the snow on the side of the road you read...Bill....Fred...Chuck.....LINDA??
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
I had a girlfriend for a couple years who was quite adept at peeing standing up. She'd just spread her lips with two fingers and kinda arch her hips forward. She could even manage a fair bit of accuracy and distance. Although she would only try it while wearing a dress because of the dribble problem.
As for the funnel/hose idea, well, it's been around for a while. I think they called it "Le funnel" or something.

I'm a male in my early 30s and I have a "bisected stream" issue like 80% of the time I take a leak standing up.
It must be the shape of the urethral opening, but I get the main stream and sometimes a secondary "side piddle", much like pouring water from a glass (some snakes down the side of the glass). Probably about 5% of the volume of the main stream.
This can result in some nasty surprises since you can't really feel it happening. You look down after taking a leak and notice "oh my, I just pissed all over my right pant leg". I've gotten into the habit of putting my right hand kind of to the side to block the side-piddle if it does happen. Better on your hand than on your pant leg.
YMMV, obviously. This has never been officially diagnosed by a doctor (not that big a deal, and I'm sure as shit not having surgery done to fix it), but it does happen.
