Oh, absolutely not <Big G> I consider myself to be something of a
self-confessed
authority of the vast variety of 'Pissoire's' and 'Urinette's' dotted
around
France - including the more modern unisex versions in Paris which
automatically throw you out after about 10 minutes occupancy!

A WATERFALL version? My God! Is it susceptible to additional
cataracts in the manner of Niagara and Victoria following on from
heavy rains up-country? :-)
Clearly, Mr. Madonna's creation is of such critical importance to both
sexes (both as users and spectators) that I feel Mark B. should seriously
consider opening up another list to cover this subject in isolation :-) I
would be
delighted to be a regular contributor.
Has anyone photographed this wondrous edifice? I've already delayed my
departure
for work searching Infoseek and Yahoo to determine if there is a URL -
without success.
If anyone has a picture of the WATERFALL, I'd be delighted to receive it
off list to add
to my collection.
