You never know when great ideas are going to strike, which is why MIT installed chalkboards above their urinals. I’m not kidding. But that doesn’t seem all that practical to me, because A) unsanitary chalk and B) not everyone is ambidextrous. A better place to store your urine-spiration would be one of these US-made, cloth-covered First Draft Co. Notebooks. Each has 224 pages of #70 text stock paper, and a braided elastic band closure with matching pencil. And they’re just $22 a pop, which is a fair price to pay for a piss-free place to jot your thoughts.
