Through The Looking Glass
Recently a shady club owner was outed by a comedian for having a two way mirror in the ladies room. He refused to remove it when confronted so she put it on YouTube. The police are now investigating.

Lighting up the restroom with power produced from urine deposited therein, brilliant!

The latest Kickstarter weirdness is The Main Drain. It's "an adjustable urinal that attaches to your toilet." It's target market is evidently men who, for one reason or another, really don't want to lift up the toilet seat.They're hoping to raise $50,000 to start manufacturing the Main Drain. So far they've got $1,604, with over a month to go.

Wedding ring found
But recently, 13 years after the ring was lost, a shiny object caught the eye of Norman's wife, Juanita, while she was in the bathroom. There was the ring, lying at the bottom of the toilet. It remains unexplained how the ring got there. Or how it could have remained there for 13 years. [The Commercial Appeal]

Kaiser Wilhelm Toilet Paper
I knew that it's popular to put politician's faces on toilet paper (for instance, Amazon sells Obama toilet paper
as well as Mitt Romney toilet paper
), but I didn't realize that these kind of novelty products were being sold even back in World War I. [via Daily Mail]

The Telephone Booth Shower
Back in 1996, two East German entrepreneurs came up with the idea of converting old telephone booths into shower stalls. They plumbed up two booths and sold them for 4000 marks each. However, their idea ran aground when Deutsche Telekom refused to sell them any more old booths, fearing that, in the words of their spokesman, "It would be problematic if someone wanted to make an emergency call and ran into the booth that was actually a shower."[via top.net.nz]

The Sweet Pea
It seems to me as if this guy has "invented" a ceramic funnel. Also, he says it wouldn't smell, but I'm not too sure about that. [ksn.com]
