Peeing While Standing

Brigham Young University's Splash Lab produced this slow-mo simulation of what happens when a man pees into a toilet bowl while standing up. They write:

The amount of splash is considerable and should make one reconsider standing up to urinate. The repeated impact of the droplets opens up a large and interesting cavity with multiple ridges. Each droplet forms a small cavity wherein the next droplet can pass through and form a cavity an additional cavity creating a chain of small cavity structures. Splash is formed both from the initial impact as well as the collapse of this large cavity. The process repeats itself over and over creating a real mess.

@F.U.D.: You and I and every other guy with more than one existing brain cell knows that but this study was done by genuine, bona fide academics!
