Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I have found that I need to stand at quite a distance to avoid this problem. However, it is quite possible that ours do not have this new valve. All this being said, I would like to add that the tags for this post are excellent -- except for one, which does not quite work for urinals. I am however fascinated with these waterless toilets. I first found out about them from this sign at Walden Pond: <a href="http://www.walden-pond.net/wp60.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.walden-pond.net/wp60.jpg</a> While it sounds like a great idea, we have these in many of the new libraries at UNC and they splash like crazy.

If McD is rolling them out, we can expect to see a lot more of them. Unfortunately, they still get clogged when some jackhole throws a papertowel in them!
