May 21 2009 Well It's About Freaking Time: Tetris Soap
Tetris soap is tetrad shaped soap pieces that make a perfect addition to the seashell soaps in your guest bathroom that I'm never sure if I'm supposed to use but do anyway. They're made by Digital Soaps, the same folks that brought us the video game controller soaps. 8 ounces of tetrads will set you back $10, but they also have little Space Invader bars that will run you $10.50 for 24 pieces. Hit the jump to see more of both. Then, go with the tetrads. Trust me: L pieces were practically made for the gooch.
Hit it for a bunch more cleanliness.

Apr 18 2009 Crazy Sink Is Crazy, Drains Onto The Floor
The Abisko Washbasin from Eumar isn't even a basin. It's a freaking waterslide. A waterslide sink that drains onto the floor. How hilarious would it be if some bar installed this thing and forgot to put in the drain? Or even better -- you clogged it with a bunch of paper towels! HAHAHA, water damage is so funny! But seriously, it would be cool to spit blood in the sink and watch it sail down the stream. And why would you be spitting blood? I dunno, sometimes you just *WA-POW!* that's why.
Hit the jump for a bunch more of the questionable modernity.

Jun 26 2008 Sure, Why Not?: Ceiling Mounted Faucets
The Gessi ceiling-mounted faucet is mounted to the ceiling because walls are boring. You control the flow with a little joystick (or optional remote) and they probably cost a fortune. Especially if you don't already have water pipes running in your ceiling. Still, I like them and wouldn't be upset if one of my favorite bars installed them. But I would be if my girlfriend tried to in our bathroom. Last week she was installing a new shower curtain and, long story short, almost burnt the house down.

Jun 20 2008 Blood Soap Is Cool, I Want Some In My Mouth
Clue brand Blood soap has red coloring added so it looks like you're cleaning blood off your hands whenever you go to wash them. It's an awesome idea and my mommy says I should wash my mouth out with rat poison because I use lots of dirty words. I want some, unfortunately I've got the feeling it isn't real. It should be though, because I'd buy some. Or, I dunno, just keep cutting myself.

Thanks Shawn, now lets make this stuff in hand sanitizer form so we can take it anywhere.

Nov 2 2007 All Glass Sinks Are Very Clear, See Through
The IKS vanity from Lasa Idea, an Italian bathroom-stuff manufacturer, is a single piece of molded glass. Which makes it a very clear sink indeed. They're available now if you have a ton of money to spend remodeling a vessel that's primarily used for washing your hands after holding your ding-a-ling. I almost ordered one, but then I realized guests would be able to see the porno stash I keep under the sink. I'm not ashamed or anything, it's just that some people aren't progressive enough to fully appreciate my "Sex With Electronics" fetish mags.

Oct 18 2007 No-Touch Faucet Is Better Than Not Washing
If there's one thing I hate, it's touching things. Things are gross and covered with germs. Well thanks to the Miscea Sensor Activated Faucet, there's one less thing you have to touch in the world -- sink knobs. You turn the water on by waving your hand, and can increase/decrease the temperature or dispense soap with similar motions. Sure it's a good idea, but not as good as mine. It's called not washing. Sure you just had your penis in your hand, but that's okay -- it's your penis. If it was the guy's next to you, well, that's a whole different thing.

Oct 15 2007 Brush & Rinse Toothbrush Redirects Water
The Brush & Rinse toothbrush, designed by Scott Amron, redirects water from a faucet to your lips for easy rinsing. The back of the head is shaped to direct water "into a fluid parabola as perfect as the St. Louis Arch." They cost $3, or you can get 1 of 27 original working prototypes for a paltry $1,750. I had a college professor a few years back that really could have used one of these. The whole brushing thing was just too much of a hassle for her. Maybe this would have made it easier. She'd get up in your face if you asked a question and nearly knock you out with her breath. It was always like she'd just finished eating a bag of shit.
Oct 4 2007 Folding Urinal Takes Up Less Space, Water
Mister Miser is a urinal that folds out of the wall to save space. It looks bad. It has a "porcelain-like" finished door, meaning it's a big piece of plastic, and costs $295. It only uses 10 ounces of water per flush, making them a greener alternative than regular toilets. Of course they'll probably save even more water that that, because you're likely to stumble in the bathroom at night, forget to unfold that bitch, and piss all over the wall. That requires 0 ounces per flush. And so does draining your snake in the sink, which is what I do.

Oct 2 2007 Expensive Bathtub Reminds Me Of Pipe
Can't tell what you're looking at? It's a $26,000 bathtub from artist Tetsuya Nakamura. It reminds me of a pipe I used to have. My grandmother found it in my sock drawer and kicked me out of her attic. The bathtub is made out of reinforced plastic though, not glass. But I imagine you could still get a hell of a toke off it. But be careful. The last time I smoked out of plastic I inhaled too much vaporized polyvinyl chloride, and now they say I can't make babies. Which, in my case, is probably a good thing.

Aug 28 2007 Zen Garden Sink Kills Plants in Style
Designer Jean-Michel Gauvreau has brought to us the Zen Garden Sink. Which, if you can't tell, is a sink that has plants growing in it for a very short period, then transforms into a sink that has dead plants rotting in it for a longer time. Sure it looks pretty cool, but come on Jean-Michel, there isn't any mention of a filter or anything that would indicate that real plants might stand a chance. As a strict sink urinator, I imagine my good fortune bamboo plant would be dead by the afternoon the sink was installed.

Aug 21 2007 Timepieces for Your Sink
If you are ridiculously rich and can't find any other way to spend your money (please call me first), Murano House has developed timepieces that replace the plugs in your sinks. Sound nuts? I think so. Murano's "Watch Waste" (oh the possibilities with that one!) line of timepieces is available now, but you must email them for a price quote. Which means that they're probably worth more than my entire house. What better way to let your guests know that you should be stolen from than having one of these in your sink? A sign on the door would just be tacky.
