Flowery Urinals


Yum!    (Public Domain)
In addition to the Eiffel Tower and such, Paris now has some red-hot tourist attractions.

Rose-colored urinals are doubling as flower boxes on the city’s famed streets.  These open-air relief stations are in full view of passers-by.  One that sits near Notre Dame Cathedral even overlooks the River Seine.

"Intelligent urinals" such as these “will harness nutrients” for eco-friendly endeavors.  Betcha didn’t know that a year’s worth of urine from    just one person “holds enough nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to fertilize 400 square meters of wheat.”

So as the French say:  Bon appetit!
