India has a problem with men who pee in public.

And now, it has a solution!

Peeing in Paris in the 1800s

No, that's not the title of a new musical film. It describes these outdoor stalls that French men could pee in back in 1875!

It would be sort of weird to use those, though.

"Good morning, Jacques.""Good morning!" *tries to go*"Hi Jacques!""Hello!" *tries to go*"Mommy, look at that man go wee-wee!""Oh, forget it." *zip*

Who does peeing in the pool hurt? EVERYONE!

Via.

I never thought it was THAT big of a deal to pee in the pool. Not that I ever did it! 

But a new study finds that peeing in the pool IS a big deal if the pool uses chlorine and other chemicals. Apparently the uric acid in urine mixes with chlorine to make a two new chemicals: cyanogen chloride and thrichloramine.

And guess what? Those two chemicals are bad for your heart, lungs, and central nervous system.

So I have two words of advice to anyone who’s reading this while swimming: HOLD IT!

Now THAT'S a headline.

Chinese tourists warned not to pick noses or urinate in public

Why, Santa? Why?

A peeing Santa? Man, our neighbor has some funny ideas about holiday decorating.

Bill Bryson on the English city of Blackpool:

"On Friday and Saturday nights it has more public toilets than anywhere else in Britain; elsewhere they are called doorways."
