Kohler Fluid Faucet is also a bathroom water fountain

While the Fluid Faucet is not yet in production, I will wrest it into being through desirous thirst. You may be thinking, as I did, what happens when you crack it up to get a sip? Does water go everywhere?

Oh ho! The water slows until the faucet is parallel to the sink; continuing to twist it up turns it back on again. [via Freshome]

It's all thirst-quenching fun and games until you think about the one guy who wants a drink before he washes his hands.

Also, where have the next and previous post links gone on BBG? I miss them terribly.

Hey, does this integrate with the fill tank on my toilet? Because I've always wanted one of those wash basin/fill tank combo toilets they have in Japan. Except with the water fountain too.

In the touristy sections of Rome nearly every street has a continually running spigot. Most have holes on the top such that if you plug the spigot up with your finger, water jets out the hole so you can either get a drink or soak an unsuspecting passerby.

This seems like overly complicated version of the same thing.

I like this idea, great for when you need to rinse after brushing your teeth.

Toxonix, with the low water pressure in Tokyo, waiting for the toilet spigot to wet your hands enough to rinse em is barely worth it.

Don't buy this if you have kids, assuming you also enjoy having a dry floor.
