Urinal Protocol Vulnerability
September 4th, 2009
I love XKCD - Randall Munroe’s a witty genius. He has a knack for taking obscure random things we often think about but actually apply them. In this case he takes the age old male question of “which urinal do I pick without freaking out the guy next to me?” For you non-tripods this is only a dilemma when the bathroom has just the right density of guys who need to pee. Too little and it’s a non-issue – just grab a urinal with enough space between you and the next guy – too much and who cares, we need to pee! Take a look at how Randall deals with the problem…
he’s brilliant, here’s when he goes up against the new yorker cartoonist, for a cartoon-off. there’s a string theory round. it’s pretty fun. http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2009/01/28/xkcd-vs-new-yorker/
