If a formula one car has so much downforce it could drive upside down..... Why has no one ever tried?
Also, water free urinals.....aren't they just normal urinals with no plumbing? Bunch of arse.

1 - Molgrips has done it. Towing a caravan through the Brynglas Tunnels.
2 - Piss in the garden. Much easier.

No idea but the waterless urinals in McDs make me laugh... "This urinal saves 100,000 litres of water of year". Aye? It also stinks of piss!

Exactly.
Maybe they should replace normal cubicles with a bucket and call them waterless too?
Actually I think a lot of other countries have already beaten us to it?

I'd guess formula one cars are rather expensive and building a suitably smooth poor of a large enough radius would be too. It might easier to put a treadmill inside a large aircraft, put the car on that and start it up, then get the plane go take off and rol upside down...

There's been lots of times F1 cars have been driven upside down.

Here's Esteban Gutierrez doing it!

that would be a brilliant idea - shorter route involves a transition to drive upside down but requires commitment to enter etc, or a much longer chicken run the "right" way up.

off to copyright that idea...

Mark Webber has tried it in sportscars and F1...

...and I think the true answer is they'd need to get up to a certain speed before they could do the flip. So some sort of gradually twisting track (like Hotwheels!) would need to be built. And there's isn't much point in proving it really. They just know it could.

Treadmill? AKA a conveyor belt? But inside an aeroplane? Congrats, you have nailed it 🙂

Just piss in the shower.
However, don't piss whilst driving upside down

it might make F1 slightly less tedious? i'd call that 'a point'...

my question of the day is: why do you never see more than 1 bluebottle?

Piston engined aircraft seem to manage (well once the changed from carbs to fuel injection).

No, they are actually pretty clever in how they work.

Although the cartridges do need changing every few months, so if they stink, it's down to the owners poor housekeeping rather than bad design.
