I think it is Czech, but I am not sure. What did the author try so say?
Thanks in advance!

Target has been forced to rename a women's line of footwear called 'Orina' after discovering the word means 'urine' in Spanish.
The retailer became aware of the unsavoury meaning about a week ago and the collection of sandals have since been removed from its website with an error message appearing in their place.
The Latin Times deemed the mislabeling an 'epic fail', especially considering the 'large percentage of Spanish-speakers that shop at the chain store.'

| Yes, it's in Czech | Jun 17, 2013 |
Nicole, it is in Czech, and it's not a mistranslation. Apparently, the bar does indeed keep turtles in the urinals at the men's room. The question is whether they are live or, say, ceramic. The bar is here in Prague, so maybe I'll pay them a visit one of these days.

The only thing that is really unsavory about the ceramic turtles in the urinals is how the sale happens: do you just pick one out of the urinals, rinse it off and take it home after another pint? or do they keep spare ones in the back room? And do they serve a purpose in the urinals or are they just for decoration? So many questions...What's the name of that bar? I really need to go there some time...

If anyone does indeed visit the turtle-nal, can someone please take photos?
Edited to add: of the turtles.. NOT the urinals in use...

Edited to add: Googling "turtles urinal" (not with quotation marks) yields some quite interesting? disturbing? photos... but as far as I can see, not of these particular turtles....

| Firemen with short hoses... | Jun 17, 2013 |
At a place of education I used to visit, there was a notice in one of the unisex lavatories with the request: 'Would firemen with short hoses please stand close to the fire - thanks from the cleaning staff.'
Another tale I heard was that the problem was solved by attaching plastic flies on wires to hover at the ideal point.
I love the football goals - Where can I get one for our bathroom?

Apparently when men have something to aim at, the floor doesn't need clearning quite so often
