The Chinese do have a sense of humor and the turd tea infuser dangling from the buttocks perched on the rim is a good example. This is my favorite though, a tea filter since they use loose leaf to brew. I just can't quite bring it upon myself to order one and display it in my office at home.

Looks like it's coming out of his navel.

the Belgians have a famous pissing boy statue. The whole country is in love with this thing - they dress it up for special events, like the World Cup. It's just 2-feet tall.

The explanation is rather simple. The cans are 4 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" wide (diameter).

When the can on the floor is upright it sets the distance from the top of the can to the top of the table at 25 3/4" high. So the table top is 30 1/2" from the floor. Forget that for a moment. It's actually irrelevant because we're not measuring from the floor but from 4 3/4" above the floor. Ad in the diameter of the can to the 25 3/4" and you get 28 1/4" (as is apparent in the video).

Now let's change things up: Lay the floor can on its side. The distance from the side of the standing can to the table top is 27 3/4". Now add in the height of the can standing up on the table top. You've gotten 32 1/4". The difference from 32 1/4" and 28 1/4" is 4 inches. Keep in mind the measurements shown in the video are not exactly the numbers I've chosen but mine are close. I'm only off by 1/4"

So by flipping the cans you are effectively measuring the height of only one can.

[edit]
Another contributing factor to the inaccuracy of the numbers is the the guy measures from the can LID on the floor, which isn't the same height as the rim of the can on the table when it's standing upright.
