It just so happens that Tom L. began such a discussion that lasted the entire ride back to Hackistan/Stanza. Here's the link to his blog on the subject of hover peeing: http://thomaslevine.com/!/hovering-cycle/
It's actually not such a gendered thing. Women can pee standing up as well, and many do. It's actually much neater than hover peeing, which is a blight on toilets everywhere. However, it is a power best used outdoors. The toilets at the Omni are made for sitting, and people of all genders can do so. I too pledge not to stand or hover.
Good idea M6, and Einstein & I will start dropping trou, but I find I can actually can get almost of all my Goldwater in the receptacle despite my underwhelming endowment, but only if I kneel in someone else's splatter. Luckily, I always wear shorts, so its easy to wipe off my knees. My pal David Rovics wrote a song apropos of this issue, Stand Up For Your Rights But Sit Down To Piss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STKDSMPzneE
BTW, what's the story on the urinals in the head in the hallway to the sudoroom? One of them was operational, but I notice they are all cordoned off now. Do we need funds to fix them or are they destined for the knackers?

Message-ID: <CAKbmofgapiMzQ2PCLg3Y=774wrfP=M6tvRq-z2LQSd4sLzACvg@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Please excuse the unusual nature of this email and take me seriously for a moment. I have started the practice of sitting down to pee at the Omni, which is not something I do anywhere else in my life. Before I continue, you may well be wondering if I am assuming that my readership are the owners of "hoses" as Arnas called them . "No" is the answer, but of course if you already urinate while sitting then perhaps this call to action is less germane. Here is my reasoning: 1. I Care about bathroom cleanliness at the Omni. 2. After close inspection, and many trials, even with the utmost care I cannot urinate standing up in a way that gets all my urine securely in the bowl without splashing a very small amount. 3. In my experiments peeing sitting down is almost fail-safe at getting all my urine in the toilet bowl. 4. I have the option to sit down to pee. Since there are two options, and one is superior from a cleanliness point of view - albeit slightly more labour intensive - and since cleaning will be done in solidarity by one of our members; I therefore am pledging to sit down to pee at the Omni. I hope you will take this position
