Did you know an estimated 264,000 gallons of urine are splashed out of urinals daily? That is not a pool I would want to swim in. Not even dip my toes. To help prevent return fire, these are a few new urinal designs created and tested by scientists with the

Designed and sold by UK-based novelty footwear maker Irregular Choice, these are the $239 Roll The Dice high heels. In case you couldn’t tell, they’re Monopoly themed.
