This is the "before" picture of conjoined urinals. The attending plumbers say that after the operation, they will be able to lead separate lives.

The last round of budget cuts has meant that less money is available for new construction, so architects of government buildings have had to reduce the size, not only of the buildings themselves, but of every room in the buildings... and we do mean every room.

The rest room in Washington was designed such that a politician who is cornered can react as left-wing or right-wing at the moment, depending on how he is leaning. It's also good for those who are "two-faced".
