Pee Foaming
Bubbles to soften the splashdown

After "syphoning the python" into a loo full of domestos, I discovered that it foamed up and significantly reduced both noise and splashing. Eureka!

A cistern block that contains a foaming agent as well as bleach would do the trick nicely. Every time you flush, it would be replenished.

The foam would only be produced when pee is present. The water in the loo would start off clear and un-foamy.

Would perhaps cushion no. 2's on the way down as well.

Anyone on this site from Lever Brothers?

       I find flushing makes more noise than peeing. Still, this sounds like fun.

       And when you flush and pee in unison, an expanse of pissy foam creeps out over the top of the pan, rooting at intervals within the hall carpet.Frothing and growing, slowly towards the front door of the house.

       That foam in your piss is excess protiens. It indicates that your bladder is not functioning properly and that you're loosing nutrients. Stop drinking so much. If it continues, you should go see a doctor.

       ..or at least stop drinking so much bleach.

       Si.

       Nice HB jr. idea, by the way. I was also thinking about making it into an entire school, playground and all...

       Thanks, I liked your idea of government sponsored halfbaking. We used to do this class called Technical Problem Solving, which had a lot in common with halfbaking. Then again so did many of my classes which involved staring out of the window and thinking of new ways to surprise people using epoxy resin.

       I could have sworn that I had an idea for something one might take to cause the urine itself to foam. People with a lot of protein in their urine can have amazingly foamy urine. If there were such a substance, you could produce your own foam wherever you pass.

       The foam can be used to successfuly eliminate de splash-back annoynce when taking a dump. I discovered this once I poured a bucket of water with detergent on the toilet and used it afterwards. The water with detergent generated a lot of foam and the turds went silently and without any kind of splash. Maybe all toilets could come with an environment-friendly foam agent that would be added to the toilet water whenever people wanted to use it.

       If the water level were high enough that you could immerse your bottom, it would act as a sort of bidet and also safely capture any bad gas in the bubbles.

       Okay, this one gets a bun just for Bungston making me shiver with grodiness -- imagining all the complications resultant from immersing your behind in the residue of the thousands of pot-sitters before you. I'm not a germophobe, but I think this might just kickstart a career of Lysoling doorknobs and phone recievers.

       What if the foam could, once formed pre-urination, be frozen - then the gentle peeing action causing it to melt would act as a dampener. Like pissing in snow really.
