Tidy Bowl Men Unite!

NEW DELHI - Though it includes such ideas as a solar-powered commode that runs without water, the 2007 World Toilet Summit is no bathroom novelty show.

Participants at New Delhi's four-day gathering of experts, toilet aficionados, and even royalty from 44 countries are grappling with health and sanitation issues that endanger almost one-third of the world's people who don't have toilets. (MSNBC)

My only question: why is this being held in New Delhi, when obviously the centre of the innovative toilet universe is Narita Airport?

Now, is this linked to a picture I saw of a toilet shaped house that is currently being built? (really!!!)Can't remember where exactly, Korea or Japan. Guessing the person who built this house will be at the conference!

This is so much more constructive than sleeping, no?

Yep, that is definitely a toilet-shaped house. People are weird. Asian ideas are fascinatingly weird.
