No Excuse Not to Wash Your Hands Now

Funny diagram, but it's so simple.. How did we not think of this before???

One thing that I hate about being in public is using public restrooms. Obviously, for men the experience is a little less unsanitary than for women. Nonetheless, the nastiness and grime that I see in people's bathroom behavior is reason enough for me to think cholera and dysentery will rear their ugly heads again. No one washes their hands! And if they do, it's a small splash of water. In the most plain terms, that don't work! It seems like people need to be reminded left and right that keeping your hands clean is the easiest route to not spending two days cuddled up with some tissue and Benadryl (much like I was yesterday). I guess the good people over at Yanko Design felt the same way, because they've come up with a combination urinal with both a urinal and faucet built in. Not only does the 'Eco Urinal' create incentive to wash your hands (the sh*t is literally in front of you), it also saves water. The water you use to wash your hand gets siphoned down in to the urinal portion to wash away whatever excrement you put out. Somehow, I think this design can change the whole public bathroom game from a nasty, potentially disease-ridden affair, to something less nerve-wracking to germaphobes. Check out a rendering of the invention, and make sure you WASH YOUR HANDS!!
