Bathroom Sink Aquarium May Not Be the Best Place to Show Off Your Fish

Posted by Adam Frucci at 7:20 AM on October 2, 2008

Why put your very expensive aquarium out in the living room where everyone can see it? That's just silly. What you should do is stick it in the backroom so you can admire it while you're sitting on the toilet or brushing your teeth. That makes much more sense! Especially for $US4,700, which is how much this ridiculous aquarium sink costs. You can open it up on either side under the soap dish, which, if it's anything like my bathroom sink, will be coated with dried soap, toothpaste and spittle just waiting to fall in and kill your poor unsuspecting aquatic life.

Toilet Paper Puzzle Makes Pooping Even More Frustrating

Posted by Adam Frucci at 12:45 AM on July 30, 2008

Nothing says hilarity like forcing the more dim-witted of your friends to endure skidmarks and dingleberries by putting a puzzle on your toilet paper roll. Boy, you sure are a jokester! You really have an eye for when puzzles and trickery are appropriate and for when they clearly aren't! A toast, to you! [Product Page via NerdApproved]

Lightning Review: Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner is the Worst Gadget I Have Ever Used In My Entire Life

Posted by Brian Lam at 11:20 PM on June 19, 2008

I've never been so thoroughly disappointed with a gadget than I am with the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner. You might have seen one of these in the aisles of Target or Wal-Mart and thought it would be an amazing way to keep your shower clean. After all, the Ad copy says, "It's like a MAID. Times TWO!" You'd be dreaming of two hot robot french maid androids, keeping your human cleaning receptacles spotless. But this stuff does not work. DO NOT BUY. UPDATE: Just got hate mail for this post. Sounds like a douchebag rep for the product shilling hard.

Peeandgo, The Lady Urinal with a Splash of Gold

Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 9:59 PM on May 30, 2008

You may be forgiven for thinking it's toilet week here on Giz, but how could we not show you this? The Peeandgo, designed by Chen-Karlsson takes its inspiration from traditional squat urinals in Asia and the Middle East, and I'm guessing its *ahem* provocative shape is designed to stop splashback. There's no info on pricing, or indeed on whether that's real gold, so it looks like a design prototype. It's nice to see a rethink, and a bit of luxury devoted to the oft-ignored porcelain things in the bathroom, but, ladies of Giz, do you think this design is actually convenient nowadays?

Disco Bath Means There's a Party In My Tub and You're All Invited

Posted by Addy Dugdale at 11:40 PM on April 25, 2008

The Underwater Disco Light Show is a small waterproof contraption that you chuck in the tub for a full-on psychedelic bath-time experience—although, if you want really full-on, it might help to get the hallucinogens in before you strip off your clothes and your dignity and jump in. Turn it on, and LED lights in four colours whoosh around, and there's a little button to change the pattern, as well as a weight underneath so that it doesn't upend itself. Thomas and Guy-Man of Daft Punk should put these US$15 gizmos on their Christmas wish-lists now. [Firebox]

Benny Bathes for Giz: Kohler VibrAcoustic Tub is T-Tastic

Posted by Benny Goldman at 7:50 AM on April 2, 2008

The suckas at Kohler wanted me to try out their new VibrAcoustic tub today, but I already took a bath this morning. I sent that one bathtubbin' fool in my place, and while I may go Clubber Lang on him for trying to impersonate the T, this tub looks pretty sweet.

Who would lose more dignity if you modded an old Mac into a toilet paper dispenser: you or the Mac? It's a tough one, but you're welcome to find out with the detailed instructions for turning the old computer into a TP receptacle/pee spray magnet on TechRepublic. Personally, I'm sticking with a bar on the wall; just seems easier. [TechRepublic]

US$100,000 Shower Makes Sure Your Most Valuable Body Parts are Clean

Posted by Adam Frucci at 4:00 AM on March 7, 2008

This right here is a $100,000 shower. It costs way more than your shower. What do you get for such a ridiculous price? How about 18 showerheads? Judging by the photo, most of them are all around you, but one powerful showerhead looks to be a, well, undercarriage cleaner, just in case you like having a fire hose shot at your taint in the morning. It's all computer controlled and has fancy temperature zones and such, but you know what you're really paying for: the cleanest taint in all the land. Hit the jump to see the most pertinent video I could find on how this could benefit you in the future.

Paper e-Ink Scale Design Looks Great on Paper, Might Not Be Practical

Posted by Jason Chen at 6:47 AM on February 20, 2008

This e-paper bathroom scale idea from Duck Image Studio seems like a fantastic idea at first. It's e-ink, so it's thin, which means you can embed it into bath mats or floor tiles or maybe even into your shower. Imagine being able to see how much you weigh every time you bathed, or brushed your teeth, or took a leak (men only). You'd develop body image issues in record time. [Yanko Design]
