| Your Computer keyboard could be filthier than a toilet seat | | 2008-05-06 13:59:00 | | According to a study by British microbiologist, James Francis COMPUTER KEYBOARDS are filthier and infested with more bacteria than toilet seats. He compared samples from 33 keyboards to swabs from a loo seat and a door handle of a public toilet.Many keyboards had dangerous levels killer bacteria such as the dreaded E coli that causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps, fever and loss of appetite; and S aureus, which causes skin infections like pimples, boils and abscesses. Two keyboards had dangerous levels of coliform bacteria that are found in faeces and cause gastroenteritis.One of the keyboards had to be discarded because it was five times dirtier than the toilet seat and home to 150 times the acceptable limit of bacteria. “[It] was increasing the risk of its user becoming ill,” said James Francis. “I haven’t seen a reading like that in a very long time – it was off the scale.”The results were published in Which?

Supplicate while leaving:"I ask You (Allah) for forgiveness."People use the bathroom many times during the day and night. If they observe these sunan for entering and leaving everytime they go, they will fulfill two sunan for entering and two for leaving.(There are two opinions as to the meaning of Al-Kubth and Al-Khabaa'ith. The first is that it means, all evil and evil doers and the second is taht it means, male and female devils. The toilet is one of their places of abode)

| | | Pennsylvania Woman Wins Toilet Paper Tax Lawsuit | | 2007-12-03 00:00:00 | | Back in October, we reported on Mary Bach, a Pennsylvania woman who sued K-Mart because her $3.99 toilet paper purchase was incorrectly taxed (for 28 cents). The Associated Press reports that Ms. Bach won her lawsuit, and under Pennsylvania's consumer protection law, K-Mart must pay $100 (357 times Ms. Bach's actual damages). Recovering illegally collected taxes is certainly laudable, but K-Mart seems caught between a rock and a hard place, as we previously noted:Some 7,400 jurisdictions in the United States impose a sales tax, and most if not all of those taxes carve out exemptions and exceptions for politically-favored products. Keeping track of what's taxed and what's not in 7,400+ tax codes is a tough job, and if you mess up, you face fines and lawsuits.For instance, the following items are among those exempt from Pennsylvania's sales tax: wrapping paper, toothbrushes, coal, coffins, horses (but only if shipped out-of-state or used for commercial racing), three kinds of tr | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

"This is an insult to the Muslim faith that we must react to," Yusuf called out to Amato, who reassured Yusuf, saying: "I would like to tell our friends from Latina that we have been informed of this matter and are taking action because it is offensive."Al-Quds al-Arabi reported that local Muslims are planning further non-violent protests against the toilet seat until it is removed from stores.Imported from China, it is still in sale in six towns in the region at 15 euros a piece.

| | La World Toilet Organization?! | | 2007-10-04 09:53:00 | | Ebbene si, World Toilet Organization sta per Organizzazione mondiale del cesso.E' un' associazione no-profit fondata a Singapore nel 2001, e sapete per cosa? Per comunicare al mondo l' esigenza di uno standard di cessi migliori. Ma, non solum, per facilitare lo scambio di idee e opinioni in relazione alla salute e alla cultura del cesso. "Ma allora c'è chi non ha un cazzo da fare nella vita..."Per non parlare poi delle crociate contro l' incontinenza, degli innovativi design sanitari, delle petizioni per cessi migliori (al motto "Preoccupati della situazione dei cessi, tira fuori la voce e fatti sentire" ...maccheccazz?).All' associazione hanno fino ad oggi aderito 44 nazioni, dico 44 (l' Italia no, che fortunatamente ha altro a cui pensare).Ogni anno, il 19 Novembre, i maniaci del gabinetto hanno sancito la Giornata Mondiale del cesso (il World Toilet Day) e organizzano summit ed esposizioni annuali esibendo tutta l' avanguardia in fatto di latrine.Certo, non che sia un qualcosa di negativo, ma ben altri sono i problemi di questo mondo...Va tutto bene, è tutto apposto... non c'è problema... | | By: On The Rock | | |

| | STOLEN: Toilet Paper!!! | | 2007-09-30 03:59:46 | | Original Story Is Located HereSubject: Someone is Stealing Toilet PaperSummary: "Fond du Lac County Executive Allen Buechel said, 'someone has been repeatedly stealing toilet paper from the men's public bathrooms at the Fond du Lac City County Government Center since June.'"Opinion: Wow. Where do I start.Considering that it is a publicly funded building, they probably used recycled toilet paper. I just pulled a website and they sell 48 rolls of toilet paper for $36.00. Which means that each roll is 75 Cents. 75 Cents for a large roll of toilet paper!! How cheap can a person get?Now, this person may be poor or have been raised in a poor childhood. Meaning that they will take anything and everything that they may use one time. They can also be referred to as,"Pack-Rats". They DO NOT throw anything out. Stealing is wrong, but then again, some people do what they need to do to survive.Another situation could also arise from this.

| | Wednesday, September 26th, 2007: Top Toilet Tips Update - Bishops Arms ladies' toilet | | 2007-09-26 14:51:00 | | What I think:As some of you may remember, I wrote a review of the toilets at the Bishops Arms here in Helsingborg.I mentioned how it's perfectly normal for guys to use the girls' toilet when it's busy there (honest). If there's a queue and a toilet's free, it's instinctive for guys to go there. You can't fight (Swedish) nature, OK?But I've recently discovered a few other things as well.For example, when there's a queue containing both guys and girls, the guys will always let girls go into the girls' toilet.Very considerate, eh?.The point being...?Oh yeah.So I was at Bishops Arms the other night and I needed to wee, so got into the queue for the toilets. It was an only-guys-in-the-queue thing.When it was my turn, the first vacant toilet was the ladies'.Because there were no ladies present, I went in and did my thang. Sorry, I just love the word "thang"; couldn't resist.Thang.Boomerang.Wang.Ke-chang!Ourangutan (OK, maybe the first two syllables). Can you tell that I'm a bit drunk? Syllable is a good word as well, but I won't touch it because it's in brackets in the previous sentence.Yep, drunk.The füquîng point being???Yes! OK! The point!While I was in the ladies' wee thing, I noticed a bin (US/CAN: trash can) next to me. But this wasn't an ordinary bin; it was a closed one and had some kind of sensor above it. With a little waving hand.It was mysterious.It looked a bit like this:This bin seemed to invite me to wave my hand above it. So I did.The lid of the bin opened and closed gracefully, methodically, and almost clinically. I felt as though I was in a hospital. A graceful hospital.But this bin's lid seemed to have teeth or something, and it freaked me out bigtime (like that time I saw a stripping sheep woman).When opened, it looked like this:You know, I was a bit drunk, but I managed to snap some shots of this monstrosity when it reared its ugly head. No problem. But what about the old folks, or the immigrants? What would they think? Not enough | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |

| | | | Pace University: Man throws Koran into toilet. Police throw man in jail | | 2007-08-01 21:31:00 | | It's now officially a mindcrime in the United States to violate Islamic law. At Pace University, a man has been arrested and will face "hate crime" charges for throwing a Koran into a toilet, after the university caved in to demands from Muslim students.Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment, both hate crimes, police said. It was unclear if he was a student at the school. A message left at the Shmulevich home was not immediately returned.The Islamic holy book was found in a toilet at Pace's lower Manhattan campus by a teacher on Oct. 13. A student discovered another book in a toilet on Nov. 21, police said.The school was accused by Muslim students of not taking the incident seriously enough at first. Pace classified the first desecration of the holy book as an act of vandalism, but university officials later reversed themselves and referred the incident to the New York Police Department's hate crimes unit.

| | Tuesday, June 19th, 2007. Top Toilet Tips: Pubs in Helsingborg - Part Four: PL13 | | 2007-06-16 07:49:00 | | What I think:I went to one of Helsingborg's smallest, but coolest (in my opinion), bars the other night - PL13. It's located right across the street from The House of Pain (where I had my tattoos done), Tim's Haircut (where I had my most expensive haircut ever - same post), and the Telegrafen pub (which I visited here and here).I've actually mentioned PL13 a couple of times before (once here, and again here); the music and the atmosphere are good, and the beer is above-average, with slightly below-average prices, for in-town pubs anyway.It's worth going there if you're into music like The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Ramones, The Smiths, Kraftwerk, Placebo, and music of that genre and/or era. Most other pubs seem to play the worst of the past few decades' crap. And asking them if they can put on something else is not unlike asking them why their mothers didn't consider abortion to be the wisest option.I just remembered, the time before I went to PL13 the other night, I was with a friend from England - after having visited the Bishops Arms (see Part Three of this series) - something a bit creepy happened. There was some bloke there, looking a bit out of place in his suit (although, to be fair, he may have come after work, or from some formal occasion), and he said that he reads my blog.Now, that in itself is, of course, decidedly not creepy. In fact, I'd say it's flattering. But he said that he'd been reading it since it began, and knows much of it inside-out - he went as far as to actually quote some bits. That freaked me out a little, for some reason.But this is undoubtedly just me being paranoid; it's not like he's stalking me or anything, and I really should be thankful for having such a devoted reader here in town.So, at this point, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, and extend a warm greeting to someone who may well be my Number One Fan in Helsingborg (OK, maybe Badlands is just as much of a fan, as he claims to check my blog every day, but | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |

The jail cells are full to capacity as it is!

| | Automated Berlin Toilet | | 2007-06-03 19:36:25 | |
Hacked Gadgets Forum member Jared Harley recently went on a trip to Berlin and took a video of a cool automated toilet there. This toilet locks and washes itself after every use. It can also be reconfigured automatically when a handicapped person needs a special interior arrangement. Like everything else electronic, it’s bound to fail eventually. I wonder how many people have had the doors open by accident when they were using the automated toilet?

| | Sunday, June 3rd, 2007: Top Toilet Tips: Pubs in Helsingborg - Part Three: The Bishops Arms | | 2007-06-03 08:28:00 | | What I think:For the third part of this series, I took a walk to The Bishops Arms last Friday evening. I was with a friend who was visiting from England. We'd just been to the Charles Dickens for a couple of beers there, when I decided that it was time to go elsewhere to take a closer look at another pub's facilities. The Bishops Arms (or simply "Bishops", as it's more commonly known) is located very centrally. It's a pretty nice place to go for a few beers, although it's fairly pricey; a decent pint costs around 55 Kronor (US$7.90/£4.00/€5.90).Having said that, the selection of draft lagersthey have is the best in town: And For the homesick Brit,or the locals or tourists who have yet to visit the UK,they also have a few decent ales in the pipes as well.And if whisky's your thing,you won't be disappointed here.All this liquid make me want to go to the toilet.Don't be shy, come along with me.How to get to the toilets:When you enter the pub, you're soon met with a staircase on your left; it's a basement pub. At the bottom of the stairs, veer a bit towards your right - towards the bar - otherwise you'll bump into some chairs or a table. When you're facing the bar, turn left and walk past the little raised seating area, now also to your left. The door to the little toilet corridor is the last one on your right. The door on the left-hand side of the photo above is the one you'll walk through. The signs leave you in little doubt as to which toilet you should use. Ladies first:Gentleman:Cute, eh?Unfortunately, behind each of these doors, we find just a small room, suitable for only one person's relief at a time. Pretty bog standard, so to speak.Although Bishops has gender-allocated facilities, this fact is largely ignored depending on the situation. If you're a bloke and you see that the Gents is occupied, and there's no one else waiting, you go to the Ladies. It's just how it is here (have they no shame?). Makes sense to me.Tip: There's another (unmar | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |
| | Thursday, May 10th, 2007: Top Toilet Tips: Pubs in Helsingborg - Part Two: Hamnkrogen | | 2007-05-09 16:00:00 | | What I think:Since it was a nice day last Saturday, I decided to continue my tour of this fine city's pubs' public convenience facilities with a very outdoorsy place, Hamnkrogen.Hamnkrogen, meaning "Harbour Bar", previously known as Hamnpaviljonen (or "Harbour Pavillion"), is known by a few of us expats as "Circle Bar". Here's why: It's pretty small during the wintertime, as you can only sit inside, but for the 17 days of summer we get here, they have a fair-sized terrace outside, where you can while away your afternoon drinking beer, enjoying the nice views, and watching the world go by.I'm just kidding, by the way; the summer usually lasts for more than 17 days, their terrace is slightly-better-than-fair-sized, you don't want to while away a whole afternoon drinking beer there - at 47 Kronor each (US$6.88 / £3.47 / €5.10), you sip. And while the views are indeed quite nice, you're not quite watching the world go by, just those people in the world who happen to be passing by that particular spot in Helsingborg at the time that you're sipping your over-priced crappy beer. But hey, semantics, eh?This establishment only has one indoor toilet, and it's unisex, meaning that you must have only one gender in order to use it. This is pretty much OK for nearly everyone I know. Inside, there's nothing really special about it; in fact, it's quite a small standard toilet. The coolest thing about it is what the Yank calls "The Magic Handle".When the toilet's vacant, it's green, but when someone's in there enjoying its underwhelming splendour, it's red. It's every gadget-loving pisser's dream. You can't see it very well in this photo, but you can just about make out that the toilet is free in this shot (it was a sunny day in a small round glass-surrounded pavillion thing).Is that cool, or what?The outside toilet area's quite interesting. There's like a mini-pavillion thing behind the main bar-building where you'll find the other toilets. Many first-time | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |
| | Sunday, April 22nd, 2007: Top Toilet Tips: Pubs in Helsingborg - Part One: Charles Dickens | | 2007-04-18 15:54:00 | | What I think:Welcome to the first in this new series of Top Toilet Tips, your indispensable guide to the toilets (US/CAN: bathrooms, washrooms, restrooms) in pubs in Helsingborg. Before you visit this fine city in the south of Sweden, you simply must read this guide.I'll start with the Charles Dickens pub, located on Södergatan, in the vibrant and bustling southern part of the city.How to get to the toilets:Once in the pub, walk straight past the bar on your right towards the back. Pass by the gambling machines on your right, and the pool table on your left. You'll see the grand entrance to the magnificent toilet hall just to the left of the dart machine (don't worry if people are playing; they use plastic-pointed darts). By the way, some pubs will only allow you to use their toilets if you're a paying customer. At Charles Dickens, they're pretty laid back, and will usually let you use their facilities without buying anything (unless you're one of those yellow-jacketed so-called security folks, as they're considered a waste of space by some staff).What they're like:There are three little individual cubicle rooms, and one with a stainless steel urinal trough. There's also a toilet for disabled people, next to the wash basins, but it's kept locked. I guess you need to ask for the key. At this point, I guess I should point out that many public toilets in pubs in Sweden are unisex. Those at the Charles Dickens fall into this category.(Be aware: some toilets are marked with the Swedish for Gents and Ladies. These are Herrar and Damer. "Herrar" does not mean "Hers".)When it's not busy, there's no issue with having to wait for an available toilet. But on a busy Friday or Saturday night, it's the ladies who suffer, as it can become a bit of a free-for-all in there. Because of the layout of the toilet area, and the placement of the toilet cubicles, there's no logical place to queue (US/CAN: line up).The urinal can accommodate two guys comfortably, three guys | | By: Mark Base - Helsingblog | | |

Happened just to me: I have produced big work - well this one I did at the toilet. First, I felt eased.
But I did not look before, if there was enough paper left. Perhaps I was still sleeping, because I woke up recently.
When I grabbed the paper, I thought: “Will this [...] | | By: I ask questions | | |
