Those are some smexy faucets.

Sadly, not only can I not afford them, they'd necessitate remodeling the whole house to live up to them.

Those really are cool looking. Did you know that similar plumbing fixtures have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs?

@Grey_Area: Okay, no one's falling for it but I heard about it in college from a couple of Pharaoh Faucet Majors.

HAH! I crack me up.

Why oh why do people buy and sell faucets that barely come out from the back of the sink? Look at that picture: the flow of water wouldn't get to your palms before your fingers were smacking into the sink.

I mean, it's amusing and all, but it's all but useless as a faucet.

The top one looks like it'd stick out several inches.

I saw the tag "House" above the picture on the front page and thought for a second that tetracycloide (?, maybe someone else?) had finally succeeded in getting House covered here on io9. This just being a really late discussion on the season finale.

My dream house will have to feature something like 37 bathrooms to facilitate all the awesome faucets I've seen here (and Gizmodo), these included. Especially the last one.

House isn't sci-fi. It's faux-drama.

@Purple Dave: I'm going to rehash this, just as I have many times before, assuming you're just ignorant and not a moron but sci-fi is neither a requirement for appearing on this web site nor is it a clearly defined designation. There are not only plenty of things covered on this site that no one thinks are sci-fi but also no clear agreement among the readers for what sci-fi actually means. Without both a clear definition of sci-fi that everyone agrees on and a limit on all io9 content to media that falls within that definition your argument, just as it was the many other times it was presented and rejected, is utterly moot.

@tetracycloide: Nicely said, but you could have just slapped up TROLL or Tiny Dr. No. Or both!

I need to program some hot keys for those.

@tetracycloide:
So...does that mean General Hospital and the like should be covered here as well? The only thing that really stretches the imagination with House is the idea that one guy would end up treating so many completely unrelated once-in-a-lifetime ailments (or, for that matter, that one guy _could_ treat them all). Scrubs had a more realistic portrayal of the medical industry than House, Grey's Anatomy, and ER combined.

House has been noted for the fact that they always screw up the diagnosis twice before figuring out what the real cause is. To call it formulaic is a bit generous. It's like watching daytime soaps with a smaller cast.
