     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The invention is a novelty shower head  10  attaching to an outer threaded shower pipe  100 , the novelty shower head  10  comprising a transparent outer wall  20  and an inner wall  40  having a turbulence cavity  70  formed between such transparent outer wall  20  and inner wall  40  wherein a plurality of floating objects  80  are placed. The turbulence cavity  70  has a water entry port  72 , a plurality of water exit ports  74  and a drain port  76  allowing for complete drainage of the turbulence cavity  70  after use. 
     In a first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings, the transparent outer wall  20  has an upper portion  22 , a lower portion  24 , an inner surface  26  and an outer surface  28 . Located at the upper portion  22  is an internally threaded shower head attachment  30  which accommodates the outer threaded shower pipe  100  supplying the water to the shower in the bathroom. An extended flange  32  is supplied on the internally threaded shower head attachment  30  for use of a tool to apply and tighten the internally threaded shower head attachment  30  to the threaded shower pipe  100 . 
     The outer surface  28  of the transparent outer wall  20  is provided with at least two threaded cleaning port holes  34  which penetrate the transparent outer wall  20  from the inner surface  26  to the outer surface  28  into the turbulence cavity  70 . The threaded cleaning port holes  34  have removable plugs  36  engaging inner threads  38  within the threaded cleaning port holes  34 . 
     The inner wall  40  of the invention  10 , as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings, has an upper portion  42 , a lower portion  44 , an inner surface  46  and an outer surface  48 . The lower portion  44  of the inner wall  40  is connected to the lower portion  24  of the transparent outer wall  20 . The inner surface  26  of the transparent outer wall  20  and the outer surface  48  of the inner wall  40  define the turbulence cavity  70 , and the upper portion  42  of the inner wall  40  is closer to the upper portion  22  of the transparent outer wall  20 , making the turbulence cavity  70  narrowed towards the upper portion  42  of the inner wall  40 . The threaded cleaning port holes  34  allow for the introduction of cleaning liquids into the turbulence cavity  70 . 
     The upper portion  42  of the inner wall  40  is not attached to the transparent outer wall  20 , thereby defining the water entry port  72  allowing limited water access to the turbulence cavity  70 . The plurality of water exit ports  74  are located between the inner surface  46  and outer surface  48  of the inner wall  40  approximately an equal distance between the upper portion  42  and lower portion  44  of such inner wall  40 . A singular drain port  76  is located through the inner wall  40  at the lower portion  44  of the inner wall  40  allowing for full draining of water from the turbulence cavity  70  when the shower is turned off. 
     The lower portion  44  of the inner surface  46  of the inner wall  40 , as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings, has an internally threaded perimeter  52  which accepts an outer threaded shower dispersal disk  50   a  to disperse a stream of water to form a spray pattern. The area defined by the inner surface  46  of the inner wall  40  and the outer threaded shower dispersal disk  50   a  is the main cavity  60  of the invention  10 , wherein the greatest majority of the water flowing through the invention  10  is maintained. Water introduced into the novelty shower head  10 , in a small proportion, passes into the turbulence cavity  70 , with the majority of the water entering the main cavity  60 . That water entering the main cavity  60  is transferred directly through the outer threaded shower dispersal disk  50   a  onto the person showering. That water entering the turbulence cavity  70  through the water entry port swirls within the turbulence cavity  70  and exits through the water exit ports  74  and the drain port  76  into the main cavity  60  which is expelled onto the person showering. The floating objects  80  should be small enough to move freely within the turbulence cavity  70 , but should be large enough to be kept from exiting the turbulence cavity  70  through the water entry ports  72 , the threaded cleaning port holes  34 , the water exit ports  74  or the drain port  76 , thus causing the floating objects  80  to be permanently retained within the turbulence cavity  70 . 
     The turbulence cavity  70  contains the plurality of floating objects  80  of varied shape and color which react to the swirling water in the turbulence cavity  70  by moving about erratically with the disruptive flow of water in the turbulence cavity  70 . These floating objects  80  should be made of water proof, mildew-resisting material. After the shower is not being used, any remaining water in the turbulence cavity  70  is drained out of the cavity through the singular drain port  76 , allowing the floating objects  80  to dry. 
     Periodically during the use of the invention  10 , a cleaning solution is recommended to be introduced into the turbulence cavity  70  through the threaded cleaning port holes  34  to prevent mineral deposit and mildew from forming within the turbulence cavity  70 . 
     In a second embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 4 of the invention, the inner wall  40  of the invention and the transparent outer wall  20  of the invention are threadably connected by an inner thread  90  on the inner surface  26  of the transparent outer wall  20  at the lower portion  24  of such transparent outer wall  20  and an outer thread  92  on the lower portion  44  of the outer surface  48  of the inner wall  40 . The transparent outer wall  20  in this second embodiment does not need to have any threaded cleaning port holes  34 . The inner wall  40  in this second embodiment does have identical water exit ports  74  as in the first embodiment and is also provided with a drain port  76 . Again, as in the first embodiment of the invention, the upper portion  42  of the inner wall  40  is closer to the upper portion  22  of the transparent outer wall  20 , causing the turbulence cavity  70  to be restricted towards the upper portion  42  of the inner wall  40 . 
     A different shower dispersal disk  50   b,  not necessarily threadably engaged, is affixed to the inner wall  40  at the lower portion  44  of the inner surface  46 . The area defined by the inner surface  46  of the inner wall  40  and the shower dispersal disk  50   b  is the main cavity  60  of the second embodiment of the invention, wherein the greatest majority of the water flowing through the invention  10  is located. Water introduced into the novelty shower head  10 , in a small proportion, passes into the turbulence cavity  70 . That remaining majority of the water enters the main cavity  60  and is transferred directly through the shower dispersal disk  50   b  onto the person showering. 
     That water entering the turbulence cavity  70  through the water entry port  72  swirls within the turbulence cavity  70  and exits through the water exit ports  74  and the drain port  76  into the main cavity  60  also being expelled onto the person showering. The floating objects  80  should again be small enough to move freely within the turbulence cavity  70 , but should be large enough to be kept from exiting the turbulence chamber  70  through the water entry ports  72 , the water exit ports  74  or the drain port  76 , thus causing the floating objects  80  to be retained within the turbulence cavity  70 . 
     The turbulence cavity  70  contains the plurality of floating objects  80  of varied shape and color which react to the swirling water in the turbulence cavity  70  by moving about erratically with the disruptive flow of water in the turbulence cavity  70 . These floating objects  80  should be made of water proof, mildew-resisting material. After the shower is not being used, any remaining water in the turbulence cavity  70  is drained out of the turbulence cavity  70  through the singular drain port  76 , allowing the floating objects  80  to dry. 
     Periodically, the inner wall  40  and the transparent outer wall  20  should be separated from each other the allow access into the turbulence cavity  70  to clean the floating objects  80  and the turbulence cavity  70  from any build up of minerals or mildew. When clean, the floating objects  80  are replaced within the turbulence cavity  70  as the inner wall  40  and transparent outer wall  20  are reattached. 
     While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
