Urine Trouble -- Whizzinator Makers Plead Guilty Posted Nov 25th 2008 1:46PM byTMZ Staff The two whizzes who created a device to beat drug tests just learned a valuable lesson: You don't pee on the United States government out of a fake penis and tell 'em it's raining.Robert Catalano and George Wills have just plead guilty in U.S. District Court for conspiring to sell the Whizzinator -- a prosthetic penis sold with a heating device and dried urine which, quite obviously, helps people fake their way through drug tests.A couple of famous people have been busted for slangin' around the fake phallus over the years – including actor Tom Sizemore and former NFL running back Onterrio Smith.The streamline engineers face up to eight years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
