Boredom Can Be Edifying
There is, apparently, a subset of the internets that likes to look at toilets. And it doesn't seem to be in a fetishy sort of way - I'm not talking about photos of girls with giant tits licking out filthy toilet bowls, which is kind of understandable, if you ask me. No, they want to look at photos of the toilets themselves. Witness: World Toilet.
It's all under the guise of providing an informational website to explain the occasionally mystifying plumbing one can encounter when travelling, but the combination of the extreme glee expressed when a particularly interesting specimen is found, and the careful attention devoted to explaining the meanings of the terms used, such as "HOW TO CLEAN UP: After you do it, how to clean up your anus" and "HOW TO DISPOSAL: FLUSH BY WATER / FALL INTO A HOLE / ROLL DOWN SLOPE / LEAVE IT ALONE: Even if we look at the toilet, We can not know the way of final disposal. So this feature means how to go out of your sight" makes me think that there's something a little odd here. Well, the Japanese in general, I guess.
But oh wait! There's a links page! Where you can find Toilets of the World, Toilet Net, (specializing in photographs of the domestic toilet. Oh, and they also have a calendar), Toilet Nation ("whether you like it or not, toilets play a very large part in our lives") and for the men's room purist, there's Urinal Dot Net.
Full disclosure: I found this stuff by Image.Googling "toilet." I guess I need more work to do?
