Fasolamatt has the find of the day ... found here: In the early '90s, Sega held 65% of the US video game console market, had millions of fans, and was considered one of the premier creators of modern gaming entertainment.

Today, they are helping you play with your pee. The Japan branch of the multinational company recently announced that they are testing their Toylets male urinal video game at select locations around Tokyo.

Toylets uses a pressure sensor located on the back of the urinal to measure the strength and location of your urine stream. A small LCD screen above the urinal allows you to play several simple video games including a simulator for erasing graffiti and a variation on a sumo wrestling match.

At the end of a game, the screen displays advertisements.

That's quite a story. The pen is, indeed, mightier than the sword.

How about it, folks: Would you like to play a urination-based video game?
