Here's a novel way to check the sobriety of potential drunk drivers -- male ones, anyway...

FRANKFURT, Germany — A completely new twist on sobriety testing pairs urinals in public restrooms and a video driving game. The game screen is mounted above a urinal, and the driving game starts automatically as soon as the urinal is in use. Most innovatively, the player controls the direction of the game's cars with his urine stream.

(No, that doesn't say "Press" to Start)

Here's the full story, courtesy of Edmunds.com Inside Line.

I think this is a brilliant idea. Only problem is that major video game enthusiasts could end up making group trips to the restroom - and that kind of thing could turn into a big-time pissing contest. (Sorry, had to)


(And yes, I stole Edmunds' headline because I couldn't think of anything funnier.)

That alone is worth the trip to Germany.
