Oh, and have I mentioned our urinal webcam? Having 4 boys plus hubby, we decided installing a urinal would be wise (most especially because we don't have a flush toilet -- we have a sawdust toilet -- and less pee in it means less maintenance). We didn't want to waste water by hooking up the top water for flushing, choosing instead to take a cupful of water from the sink for rinsing. So there was this ugly top spud sitting on top the urinal (where the incoming water would enter) just looking.... ugly. I, being an eternal smartass, took an old webcam, cut off the cord, and glued it to the urinal top. It looks really cool! However, I forgot to explain to our guests that it's just a joke and the webacm is not actually working. I'm now going to have to send a group email to our homeschool group explaining this so no one thinks we're pervs.

Rotate the props. Put in some sort of a hand crank (that makes noise) to see who tries it.

Or a coin slot or jar.

Although, a funnel could be useful...

An old fashioned WC tank with a pull chain. Have it dispense 1 cup of water down that hole for rinsing.

In CA, waterless urinals are all the rage in new places. I don't know what's special about them, but there's no rinsing involved.
