The media attention on Joe the Plumber, AKA Joe Wurzelbacher, inspired the following slide show of incredibly unique toilets and urinals.
As silly as this cluster might seem, the level of innovation is really quite incredible in modern plumbing. This is in no way defamatory, it is my way of showing respect; I have huge admiration for Joe the Plumber for standing up to Obama. Joe the Plumber raised the point that Obama’s proposal to increase taxation for higher earners would penalize him, and others who work 12 hour days, unfairly.
As a tribute to Joe the Plumber, here are the most interesting plumbing innovations on Trend Hunter.
