Woz. Urinal. Segway. (with photo)
Friday, November 21, 2008 - 10:47 AM EDT

What's possibly one of the greatest photos every taken — or one of the greatest photoshopped images ever produced — has surfaced.

"Please tell me this is Photoshopped," Dr. Macenstein writes. "Actually, don’t. I want this picture to be real so bad it hurts."



Full article here.

Photo originally via Break.com here.

MacDailyNews Take: We don't care if it's real or not, we just want it in poster size!

(We think it's real, as who would have thought to have photoshopped in the other Segway rider seen in the left foreground? Plus, Woz is whistling! Of course, it could just be noted-prankster Woz joking around with his Segway pals - a real photo, but of a set-up situation. If it's not a real photo, you're witnessing the handiwork of pure genius.)

haha now that is funny. sad that someone wants to take a photo of a man taking a leak, but funny nonetheless!

There's a great interview with Woz on the BBC:

Peace.

Nov 21, 08 - 11:52 am Comment from: ChrissyOne

It's real.

Nov 21, 08 - 11:55 am Comment from: ericdano

Woz is the lamest guy now. I really feel sorry for him.

Nov 21, 08 - 11:56 am Comment from: _Bill_

Wait, look at the pipes. Do you have to flush all four urinals at the same time? Those little things above each urinal look like wall clips, not flush handles.

Nov 21, 08 - 11:57 am Comment from: nrrdgrrl

Hahaha! Woz is such a hoot.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:00 pm Comment from: HMCIV

Was this a candid shot or was Woz posing? Either way, I want someone to photoshop Ballmer's head in the urinal.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:13 pm Comment from: Long Dong Silver

I didn't realize Woz was so short (in more ways than one) that he needed a platform to reach the urinal.
Didn't they have a little boy sized urinal in the bathroom?

And what does he do when has to do number 2? Segway in the stall?

Nov 21, 08 - 12:16 pm Comment from: glad cow

Could someone please photoshop "Pee different" in the top left corner. And get on it right away. Thanks.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:16 pm Comment from: Macintosher

@_Bill_

I'm not a plumber, but as a lover of the trivial I have seen many such plumbing arrangements in the UK. And of course most UK urinals are automatic flushing ones. I can't see that this is a fake just because of this.

@HMCIV

And Bill Gates's head too. Well done, good thinking!

I don't think he's posing.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:17 pm Comment from: Demon

The Photo is Real but it's a set-up shot:
1) look at the angle of Woz in relationship to the wall of Urinals. (he's at 45 degree angel to it.)
2) Considering his angle look at the distance (he's in 3 point land Considering his age it would be more like a half court shot)

It's a restroom at one of the parks were Woz's Segway Polo team plays. I been in that restroom but, can't remember the park's name.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:21 pm Comment from: MacintoshSoftwareList.com

Who would take a multi-thousand dollar machine into a dirty restroom? Oh, yeah, a rich guy.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:21 pm Comment from: ZachCube

Woz is starting to look like those people on the spaceship from WALL.E . What the hell? The segway is the beginning of a planet of fat pigs. Woz you need to walk buddy.

@ glad cow
Shouldn't that be
"Think Smegway" ???!!!

Nov 21, 08 - 12:23 pm Comment from: Oh Boy

This one is for the history books.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:24 pm Comment from: iWill

We always knew Woz was a whiz-kid.

Nov 21, 08 - 12:45 pm Comment from: Harvey

This is tasteless

Nov 21, 08 - 12:47 pm Comment from: MacDailyNews Webmaster

Harvey,

We aim to please.

Apparently, so does Woz.

wink

ZachCube

You took the words right out of my mouth. My 5 year old thinks WALL-E is the greatest movie ever (it was good, but not that good). Nevertheless those images from the movie were the first thing that sprang into my mind after seeing this rather pathetic but funny image.

It's almost as if Woz has superglued his feet to his Segway and never bothers to get off and walk. Can anyone say "muscular atrophy"? And BTW, is Kathy Griffin still dating him? Haven't kept up with the gossip columns. I would think not if he's affixed to that Segway. (Ewww, now I have this disgusting image of the two of them DOING it on the Segway!) ARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Nov 21, 08 - 12:52 pm Comment from: WTF

OK - so he's having a piss. I'd be really mad if somebody took a picture of me doing that.

And whats with the urinals so close together? I don't want to see some guy's big hairy 'tallywacker'. Can't they make them further apart? Yuck!

And how about a nice pic of Queen Elizabeth 'pinching a loaf'. How nice would that be?

Nov 21, 08 - 12:59 pm Comment from: Grifterus

This one is Photoshopped.

And I still respect the Woz.

Yeah, I'm a geek raspberry

Nov 21, 08 - 01:06 pm Comment from: Don't Pass the Koolaid

I just threw up in my mouth—a lot!

Nov 21, 08 - 01:08 pm Comment from: Cascadians

Does anybody know what is making that bright glow?

Nov 21, 08 - 01:13 pm Comment from: Kit-N

Chrissy One,

I thought you left us like Ampar, Oh No My Shorts! and Zune Tang.

I haven't seen any postings from any of you in a long time.

ONMS told me he refuses to even read MDN anymore.

Good to see you're still alive though.

Nov 21, 08 - 01:16 pm Comment from: DS

That Segway's been flagged.

Nov 21, 08 - 01:24 pm Comment from: Micro Me

@Kit-N

Yeah, good to have Chrissy call in. Zune Tang has been back a few times lately. Not sure what's happened to Ampar or his various doppelgangers (but I'm sure he'd make some mileage out of that word, in view of what Woz is doing).

Watch your language! red face

@Kit-N.

I removed the umlaut to keep it clean.

C1 !!! Where have you been?? Missed ya!!

Nov 21, 08 - 02:14 pm Comment from: deepdish

Good God. Let the guy pee in peace.

I would pee from a segway too if I had one.

looks fun.

Nov 21, 08 - 02:21 pm Comment from: pr

not very Pee C

Nov 21, 08 - 02:43 pm Comment from: British Mac Head

"Bathroom" Would you bathe in there?
"Rest room" would you take a nap in there?

I'd love to know what idiots originally came up with those names!

No offence!

But call it what it is.
Toilet, Bog, Lavatory, Sh1t hole, P1ss pot.

It's a funny shot and if it's real then Woz is a good sport for not insisting the photo be deleted off the camera there and then.

Nov 21, 08 - 02:45 pm Comment from: Martin

To answer the question above on the flushing of the urinals. This is a Delany Sensor operated Flush Valve, and yes all four urinals are flushed when the user steps away. Please visit http://www.delanyvalve.com

Nov 21, 08 - 03:08 pm Comment from: Buster

Pic should have been in the stall as he is full of crap

Nov 21, 08 - 03:09 pm Comment from: Buster

Oh...and Hey C1...it is indeed good to see you back. Now that the election is over, I hope things return to normal and the retards (from all political stripes) will take a rest.

Ta ta for now.

Nov 21, 08 - 03:11 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

Aw... glad to know I've still loved!

I still look in on ya'll from time to time, but I've moved my writing elsewhere, for the most part. And Elements 7 and Photoshop.com are keeping me plenty busy.

Drop by and say hi if you like!

"Aw... glad to know I've still loved!"

*I'm

sigh... how else would you know it was really me? ;P

Nov 21, 08 - 03:42 pm Comment from: Cascadians

From a Segway forum comes this answer to my question, "Does anybody know what is making that bright glow?"

"The reflector on the side of the bag on the handlebar."

Nov 21, 08 - 04:05 pm Comment from: Ed

I love Apple but I can't stand this guy. He left Apple years ago, so when is he going to go away?

Nov 21, 08 - 04:40 pm Comment from: Kit-N

@Micro Me,

Ummm! You said "umlaut"!

Nov 21, 08 - 06:01 pm Comment from: mackid

why would he ride his segway to the toilet, get off of it, get on it again but facing the wrong way and then pee ? doesn't make sense.

Nov 21, 08 - 07:02 pm Comment from: Dude

I, for one, do not want to see this poster size.

Nov 21, 08 - 10:27 pm Comment from: Micro Me

@Kit-N

"Ummm! You said "umlaut"!

Good point. OK, um, I took the balls off the "a" in "doppelganger" so that..... no.... wait....

@mackid

"doesn't make sense"

Sure it does. If he stayed facing forward, he'd pee on the handle.

Now I see the advantage of a Segway. That'd be sooo much more difficult on my bike.

You gotta admit, MDN's an interesting site. A whole thread on Woz peeing.

Nov 23, 08 - 03:23 am Comment from: almux

Damn! Famous people even can't piss in peace! These freeky paparazzis have a real low leveled life... too bad for them! ;(

Nov 24, 08 - 06:36 pm Comment from: BigMouth

I never thought I'd see this day: Woz pissing on a Segway!!!! tongue laugh
