[sudo-discuss] I'm going to pee sitting down at the omni: A call for others to join.

[Lesley Bell]

It just so happens that Tom L. began such a discussion that lasted the
entire ride back to Hackistan/Stanza.  Here's the link to his blog on the
subject of hover peeing: http://thomaslevine.com/!/hovering-cycle/

It's actually not such a gendered thing. Women can pee standing up as well,
and many do. It's actually much neater than hover peeing, which is a blight
on toilets everywhere. However, it is a power best used outdoors. The
toilets at the Omni are made for sitting, and people of all genders can do
so. I too pledge not to stand or hover.
