The korean text above the English is pronounced "smoke yuhn-yook (fish paste) ham." So it's even more weird for Koreans to read it, as two of the korean words aren't actually korean words.

Although, the English word "ham" is basically a part of the korean language.

The best part is that there only seems to be one toilet paper dispenser, meaning that the person using the toilet on the right is either going to have to ask the other person to get some for him, or they're going to have to lean over and reach for it.

Maybe it was designed for married couples. :shrug:

I hope if I ever have a bidet installed I'll have the presence of mind to have it made visually distinguishable from the toilet because that's just asking for trouble.

I guess you never saw a bidet in your life? It does look a bit like a toilet but it's actually closer to a sink (it has a faucet and a drain).

There's one in my bathroom, actually. I've seen some that look like a toilet that just have a water jet sort of inside near the bottom.

There is edible paper that they can print these things on. They do it all the time at donut shops (here in Canada at Tim Hortons they print local sports teams on donuts).

My company's apartments in the Czech Republic have bidets that look just like the one in that image, except the end of the faucet pivots. My coworker and I argued about whether it was even possible to use it, so we googled some images to figure it out.

I tried it later (not after taking a poo poo), and I just ended up wet from rear end to knees. No idea what problem it's supposed to solve.

When I was a kid, one of my friends had a bidet that shot water directly upward. That one made sense, it basically blasted your rear end with water. That loving thing could hit the ceiling too.

edit: This is almost exactly what I'm talking about :

I really don't understand why you'd need a bidet if you're the kind of human being who knows how to wipe his rear end properly.

Besides then you'd still have to wipe unless you like having your pants become wet due to water rear end.

While we're on the subject of dumb toilets, I present to you: the traditional German toilet.

The drain part? That's on the front. The part where you poo poo? It's a flat shelf.

Apparently the idea is to lay down some toilet paper on the shelf (otherwise you'll end up with horrible poo poo streaks when you try to flush), then poop into that so you can look at it afterwards.

Which makes no sense to me, as I can look at my poop just fine in a regular toilet.

I knew a crackpot guy who seriously thought that these toilets, and the obsession with poo, were the main reason why the Germans started two world wars. Somehow.

Yeah but if you had a poop shelf and you did a poop in an interesting shape and you wanted to keep it for your collection you could grab it without getting your hand wet. Toilet water is gross.

It might be a valuable collectable poo!

As a German I can confirm that the only time I saw one of those toilets (and a bidet coincidentally) was at my grandparents house which was built in like the fifties and never got renovated since.
So yeah. We moved past our desire to inspect our poo poo.

This turns out to be pretty true.


Uruguayan President José Mujica has a well-earned reputation for a personal style that is assertively ... let us call it informal. It's part of the 78-year-old politician's practice of eschewing all trappings of power and status; he gives away most of his salary, lives in a small, one-bedroom apartment and drives an old VW Beetle instead of taking the customary limousine. He's often called "the world's poorest president," although the former guerrilla and Marxist resists the label. He's not a victim of poverty, after all; he's a political leader who cares deeply about economic inequality and is making an effort to lead by example.
