  Urinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus the urinal is cleaned where with a manual flush it might not have been, but water is not wasted when the toilet is not used.
Urinals are usually associated with a commercial, industrial, or high capacity men's washroom, where they are used, together with toilets, for high throughput capacity, as part of an efficiently designed washroom architecture.
Often, one or two of the urinals, typically at one end of a long row of urinals, will be mounted lower than the others, for use by shorter boys and very short men.

It is a little known fact about urinal cakes, that if placed in a pint of certain lagers, they sink to the bottom of the glass, float to the surface, sink to the bottom again, repeatedly floating and sinking until they have fully dissolved (or until Tom gets bored and drinks the pint).
However, the Dangerous Walkers, frequenting many pubs on their travels, and being the ingenious fun-makers that they are, have invented a new sport based on urinal cakes.
At the beginning of the evening, Urinal Cakes are assumed to be placed at random intervals along the length of the urinal.

Imagine the delight on a young orphaned child's face when he sees a yellow cake brought out to him, a marzipan cigarette butt lying to one corner, and perhaps a solitary strand of spun sugar representing the pubic hair belonging to the person who is incapable of draining his bladder without shedding.
A urinal cake is a little round yellow bar of soap that is placed in the urinal to mask the smell of stale urine when the urinal gets blocked up with chewing gum and the floor quickly becomes flooded.
Her and her husband with the girly name are understandably upset and cry, but then go to the funeral and have a nice slice of urinal cake cake and learn to smile again.

Personally, I've found the introduction of dividers between the urinals to be the best urinal-related invention of late.
Now one can go to any of the urinals to relieve oneself, and avoid the social faux pas of choosing the wrong one (though does this mean that the statistical science of choosing the right urinal will die out?)
Personally, I think the low urinal is an absurd solution which would be better solved by a redesigning urinals to meet the guideline.

New York schoolchildren will now and forever be safe from “toxic urinal cakes,” thanks to a bill passed in the state legislature this week that bans such cleaning devices from the state’s schools.
The new law is meant to crack down on the toxic fumes that often result from urinal cakes made from the disinfectant paradichlorobenzene.
The bill originally called for the toilet accoutrements to be banned statewide, but “after negotiations,” the sponsor agreed to limit the ban just to the schools.

Let's say I keep it "on course." Now due to the modern marvel that is urinal design, even hitting the back wall will cause some urine to hit the cake, though the scent will not be as strong.
I guess since the urinal is already full from you puking in it, you would have to piss on the floor.

The patent covers a wide range of new technology, including sensor transducers, LEDs, urinal cakes, perforations and separate discreet flasher components.

Proper urinal etiquette is instinctual for most people, but there are some who somehow managed to slip through the gene pool filter and contaminate humanity.

OK, my company's building maintenance guy and landlord came up with the brainchild to install a waterless urinal in the mens bathroom.
Within in hours all the guys were complaining about it because most of the pee flows into the hole, but because there is no flush so little drops and puddles of pee are left behind.
The irony is, everyone is going to just use the toilet in the stall which uses a ton more water than the old urinal.
