Game Of Thrones: NYC Super Bowl Toilet Stats Will Scare The Poop Out Of You

Game Of Thrones: NYC Super Bowl Toilet Stats Will Scare The Poop Out Of You

Forget about the score and the amazing ratings—if there is one fact you need to know about the Super Bowl this weekend it is this: after the game ended, so many people evacuated themselves in our fair city that water usage spiked 13 percent, a jump so big it caused the water level in the 30-foot-deep Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers to drop 2 inches. That's a whole lot of bowl bombing! more ›

Will Starbucks Introduce Attendants, Receipt Codes For Bathrooms?

Will Starbucks Introduce Attendants, Receipt Codes For Bathrooms?

Earlier this week, onanism aficionados poured out a cold one for the Starbucks masturbator when they heard rumors that some of the 196 Starbucks locations across the city had begun closing their restrooms to the public. Starbucks told us that the controversial new "policy" was completely untrue, but that hasn't stopped the NY Times from trying to dig up some potential new pee policies—such as bathroom attendants and receipt-only restrooms. more ›

[UPDATE] Toilet Terror: Starbucks Closing Its NYC Restrooms To EVERYONE

Oh no! How will the Starbucks masturbator complete his mission now? more ›

Poo-Trid Situation: Only One Filthy Toilet For 634 Brooklyn Students

Poo-Trid Situation: Only One Filthy Toilet For 634 Brooklyn Students

Six hundred thirty-four Brooklyn Students, one pot to poop in: the Daily News reports on a truly crappy situation at Science Skills Center High School, where the school has allegedly only kept one of five working toilets open for the past month. And it's left students traumatized: "It was awful—and not just the smell or the line. It was the pee all over the place and the terrible plumbing," said 16-year-old Kianna Cole. To resolve this conflict, perhaps the school could get everyone together and have a block potty? more ›

JFK's "Drug Loo" Patrols Porcelain For Smugglers' Hidden Gems

JFK's "Drug Loo" Patrols Porcelain For Smugglers' Hidden Gems

If you've ever eaten an entire package of Oreos and thought, "Yeah I could swallow 3 pounds of heroin and smuggle it through JFK to take care of these student loans, no problem," you should know that the airport has made it even easier for Customs agents to nab the contents of your bowels as evidence. The Daily News visited the "Drug Loo" at JFK, which "separates the waste from what are called 'pellets' or 'balloons,' small latex packets of heroin, cocaine or other drugs." What did authorities do before Science invented this robot toilet? It involved "officers sifting through used bed pans." No thanks, we'll stick to staring at ladyparts in the security line. more ›

Wet Bandits Called in to Rescue Gold Tooth Flushed in Flushing

Wet Bandits Called in to Rescue Gold Tooth Flushed in Flushing

Like Charlie Bucket desperately trying to find his way into the chocolate factory, last week a Mets fan dug so hard for her golden tooth that she got her arm stuck in a Citi Field toilet as its automatic flusher flooded over her time and again. Fans started becoming more interested in the unnamed fan's struggle that turned out to be as futile as the Mets' twelve inning losing battle with the Braves last Wednesday. Team officials had to call in Cardoza Plumbing, the company that installed the low-flow "green" toilets that "use powerful vacuum suction to cut down on water use." The Post talks to a plumber who tells them, "The truth is, this kind of thing happens all the time—usually with wedding rings or cellphones. People have probably been getting their hands stuck in toilets as long as there have been toilets." The paper mentions the 2003 cell phone flushing fiasco on a Metro North train and a woman in China stuck for two days trying to save her pet turtle (and by "turtle", they secretly mean "alligator"). At the very least, it sounds like this unfortunate Met fan deserves a sympathetic call from T-Pain—don't we all? more ›
