subject: The World's 5 Strangest Bathroom Designs [print this page] Going to the bathroom is just one part of life that we can't avoid. Though when it is time to relieve ourselves, it's nicer when the surroundings are comfortable and relaxing.
Some designers across the world have decided that going to the toilet should be an entertaining experience, and have created urinals and bathrooms to make the trip that little bit more enjoyable.
Here at 5 of the world's weirdest bathroom designs:
1)The George W. Bush Urinal. Clark Sorensen, a designer from San Francisco, is famous for his wacky urinal designs. The piece, which Sorenson named the 'George W. Flush', is plumbed into a wall painted in the colours of the American flag. The loo was made especially for the creator's touring art show called 'Down the Drain'.
2)'Loo with a View'. The offices of Commerzbank, based in Frankfurt in Germany have toilets with a real view of 'power'. The urinals are positioned overlooking the entire city from a terrifying height. Those with vertigo will definitely not want to be looking down.
3)Judging the Manhood. Every man paying a visit to the Sofitel luxury hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand is sure to be in for a shock. Life-size images of women wielding tape measures and preparing their cameras stand over the urinals, a sight which is very likely to put you off your usual flow.
4)Moving Clown Urinal. Definitely not one for sufferers of Coulrophobia, a huge urinal of a clown's face greets unsuspected bathroom visitors in Osaka, Japan. The creation is fully mechanical, and is able to sing and laugh at random, and also moves up and down as you pee into it.
5)World's Biggest Bathroom. With over 1,000 toilets, the four-storey bathroom in Chongqing, China is currently the largest public convenience in the world. The urinals range from the weird to the wonderful, including models of alligator heads with full sets of teeth, and nuns attached to the stone walls.
