Christmas Poop among the Catalanos

This is so great, I never knew about this: apparently in the Catalan tradition in Spain, in all nativity scenes there's a figure taking a poop behind the baby Jeebus! And the figure is often made to look like a current political figure. Read more about this and more poop-related Catalan Xmas traditions on this post on the wonderful blog I Let My Fists Do the Talkin':

Catalan Pooping Nativity Tradition

And there's also a mention of it on the Wired website:

Vibrating Toilet Seat

No kids, despite the language in the article title for this story, "Local Man Creates Vibrating Toilet Seat," it's not an Onion joke story (shades of "Area Man"), this is real: this guy creating a potty seat that vibrates in order to "stimulate" the user...hmm. Well, to each her own, I guess...

Japanese Poop Museum

Oh boy, are you Potty Mouth fans gonna love this! A whole museum devoted to poop! You can look at it, you can learn about it, and best of all, you can say "poop" and not get in trouble! Excruciatingly well-documented by Babelhut.

George W. Bush Memorial Urinal

As most of you adventure clubbers know, we here at Potty Mouth (tm) usually steer clear of politics, but we just couldn't resist spotlighting the latest piece by artist Clark Sorensen: a George W. Bush urinal! Hurry and pick one up, San Francisco residents, and maybe you can have the singular honor of sending your pee through the Presidential Potty straight through to the proposed (renamed) George W. Bush Sewage Plant, on the ballot next week in the City by the Bay. It's a positively poetic thought!

Ultra-Realism from Japan

Hmm, this is the kind of graphic art we don't need to see in the morning... It's a poster telling people to scoop their dog's poop and...well, you can see for yourself. That ain't special effects, folks.

French Man Sucked Into Train Toilet

A guy on a high-speed train in France dropped his cellphone into the train's toilet. Not thinking about--or not knowing--the fact that those toilets have an automatic flushing mechanism stimulated by the presence of, er, objects in the toilet bowl (heheh...I didn't say "poop"!), the guy reached in for his phone, the flusher kicked in, and his arm was trapped in the toilet bowl!

Follow the link below for all the gory details. We are reminded, of course, of two somewhat related stories: the infamous obese woman supposedly stuck on the airplane toilet (investigated later by Mythbusters, as reported here by Poop Report), and our own classic Potty Mouth episode, "Bowls on the Go". Though luckily, we didn't stick any appendages in the (admittedly low-tech) Thai train toilet. Oh yeah, and we would be remiss without a Trainspotting reference as well (see photo above)...
