Notes from Underground

The UK has at last come up with a solution for the reeking problem of late night drunks and their urgent bladders.

Its Dutch developer states with admirable clarity that the goal of the UriLift is to "provide a unique solution for indiscriminate urination." Such solutions are, of course, no small matter, as any number of neo-Brecthian absurdist melodramas have recently pointed out.
