Venezuela is out of Toilet Paper
Venzuela geht das Klopapier aus. Die Regierung macht dafür eine Kampagne der Opposition verantwortlich und die sozialistische Revolution will sich jetzt kümmern, damit die Leute sich wieder angemessen den Arsch abwischen können.
Commerce minister Alejandro Fleming blamed the shortage of toilet tissue on “excessive demand” built up as a result of “a media campaign that has been generated to disrupt the country”. “The revolution will bring the country the equivalent of 50 million rolls of toilet paper,” he was quoted as saying Tuesday by state news agency AVN. “We are going to saturate the market so that our people calm down.”

CBGBs Toilet recreated for Punk-Art Show
Das Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York hat für seine Ausstellung über Punk das legendäre Klo vom legendären Club CBGB nachgebaut. Auf dem Bild rechts sieht man das Original und der Nachbau ist wohl eher „losely based on“, da hätte man sich im Detail wirklich ein bisschen mehr Mühe geben können und ob das Ding auch so duftet, wage ich mal zu bezweifeln. Andererseits haben sie eine „frühe“ Version nachgebaut, die noch nicht ganz so vollgeschissen war, wie das Original, dass Dangerous Minds liebevoll „Mecca of merde“ nennen. Passt scho’.
The Met’s new PUNK: Chaos to Couture exhibit is now officially open, and the centerpiece for any die hard New York punk reenactor has got to be the CBGB bathroom, which was recreated for the show. While The Met has so far refused to comment on the work of art, CBGB’s current owner Tim Hayes tells us, “They got the earliest version of the bathroom just right.” The Met’s version even comes complete with cigarette butts, harkening back to a New York City with looser laws. Hayes also added, “I love that they gave a shout-out to the Dead Boys.”

Video Game Toilets
Sowas gab’s vor drölf Jahren schonmal als Blog und muss 2013 natürlich als Tumblr nochmal gemacht werden: Videogame Toilets.
Hitlers Toilet
Sehr passend zum grandios am aktuellen Zeitgeist vorbei getitelten Spiegel diese Woche: Hitlers Klo.
According to Kohfeldt, the toilet came off of Hitler’s biggest private yacht, the Aviso Grille, which was between 400 and 500 feet long, and at the time one of the biggest private boats in existence. “He wanted to ride it down the Thames in London and go live in Windsor Palace when he invaded,” Kohfeldt told me on a subzero morning last week as he pulled a sink—also from the ship, and now in pieces—out of a box and laid them out for me to examine each of the maker’s stamps and faucets. Another resident of Florence, Dick Glass—an expert on Hitler’s yacht—told me that the ship was armed, had a crew of 245 men, a private room for Eva Braun, and was bigger than J.P. Morgan’s ship Corsair. The Aviso Grille also played a significant role in one particular moment in history: Hitler’s Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz stood on the deck of the ship on May 1, 1945, and gave the first word of the Führer’s death and took command of Germany.
After the war ended, the Aviso Grille was taken to the United States and ended up in the hands of New Jersey shipyard owner Harry Doan, who illegally charged visitors 25 cents to board and tour Hitler’s Yacht. However, according to Glass, both Doan and the federal government wanted to prevent the ship from becoming a memorial to Hitler, and so it was scrapped in Doan’s salvage yard in the early 1950s.
At that point, Sam Carlani needed a new toilet. Doan, his close friend and poker buddy, told him he had one available.

Public Toilet at the Boom Boom Club is very public
Niveau-Limbo und eine sehr öffentliche Toilette in einem Club namens Boom Boom. Muss auch mal sein.
“The view outside is exciting, but the view inside is frightening,” said David Langdon, 55, from Melbourne, Australia. “I saw people waving at me! Sitting on the royal throne, you don’t expect a public viewing!”
You especially don’t expect a public viewing considering there are no warning signs alerting customers that they’re starring in their own reality PV show. Tourists congregating on Washington and W. 14th Sts. got plenty of jaw-dropping views of patrons visiting the club, rooftop lounge and discotheque Le Bain on the same floor. Lawrence Schwartzwald/Splash News Gawkers on the street below marvel at restrooms open to ALL the public.
Belinda Langdon, who was visiting the club with her father, mistakenly thought the windows were reflective on the outside. But she realized the truth once she left the hotspot known for its steamy pool parties and celebrity sightings. “It’s pretty creepy,” said the 24-year-old East Village resident. “The people taking pictures are pervy. You just hope nobody recognizes you on the street.”

French Horn Urinals
In der Jazzissimo Lounge in Rumänien pisst man in Blasinstrumente. Ich kann mit dem Sound von Trompeten und Hörnern generell nur sehr wenig anfangen, von mir aus geht das klar: French Horn Urinals in the Men’s Room at Romania’s Jazzissimo Lounge.
Toilet on an Elevator Shaft
Die Wohnung, zu der dieses Klo mit Glasboden über einem 15stöckigen Fahrstuhlschacht gehört, ist eine dieser ekelhaften Luxuspenthousegedöns, in dem nur Leute wohnen würden, die ich doof finde. Aber die Idioten in der Pfostenwohnung hätten ein Klo mit Glasboden über einem 15stöckigen Fahrstuhlschacht. Ein Klo über ‘nem Fahrstuhlschacht!
Pseudo Poop für Testing Toilets
Hochinteressantes Posting auf Metafilter über falsche Kacke aus Sojabohnen für Tests von Produktinnovationen im Sanitärbereich oder anders ausgedrückt: Testscheiße. Auf dem Bild oben sieht man die Zugabe des Testmediums in Form von Sojabohnenpaste in die Schüssel inklusive dem sogenannten “Drop Guide”.
Testing toilet flush performance naturally requires the replication of real-world loads. Striving for accuracy, a Texas A&M study evaluated polypropylene balls and Play-Doh sheathed in condoms before settling on a test payload of two Water Wigglers per flush. In contrast, the Maximum Performance project (scroll down for photodocumentation of MaP testing procedures) recommends the use of 350-gram specimens of extruded soybean paste (“specimens that float shall not be used”).
MaP claims that as a result of testing of more than 2,200 fixtures since 2003, toilet design improvements have pushed average scores from 350 grams per flush to more than 675 grams per flush.

Belphegors Palindromic Prime-Number
1000000000000066600000000000001 ist eine palindromische Primzahl, man kann sie vorwärts und rückwärts lesen. Ihr Symbol erinnert an ein umgedrehtes Pi und taucht zum ersten mal im Voynich Manuskript aus dem 15. Jahrhundert auf. Sie ist eine 666 umgeben von 13 Nullen an jeder Seite und zwei Einsen. Außerdem ist sie die Zahl Belphegors, dem siebten Prinzen der Hölle, dem Dämon der Entdeckungen und genialer Erfindungen, der auf einer Toilette angebetet wird und dem man Scheiße opfert, deshalb gilt er auch als Furzgott. Kein Scherz.
Zur Zahl von Dr. Cliff Pickover (via Neatorama):
The symbol of Belphegor’s Prime resembles Pi, only upside down. It is derived from a bird glyph first seen embedded in the Voynich Manuscript.
In demonology, Belphegor (or Beelphegor) is a demon. The creature is one of the seven princes of Hell and helps people make discoveries. In John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Belphegor is one of the “Principalities of the Prime.” In hell, Belphegor is the demon of inventiveness.
Über Belphégor in der Demonicpedia:
Known as the demon of discoveries and of ingenious inventions, Belphegor is said to appear as a young girl and to give wealth. He was worshipped by the Moabites as Baalphegor on Mount Phegor. Some rabbis claim that he must be worshipped on a toilet, with offerings being the residue of ones’ digestion. This has led some to conclude that Belphegor is the god Pet (Fart) or “Crepitus,” while others believe that he is Praipus. Selden is cited by Bainier as reporting that human victims are to be offered to him, and that his priests partake of the flesh.
