From the quiz, What Kind of Yarn Are You?

You are Dishcloth Cotton.
You are a very hard worker, most at home when
you’re at home. You are thrifty and seemingly
born to clean. You are considered to be a Plain
Jane, but you are too practical to notice.

What kind of yarn are you?

I suppose the truth grates every now and then. There are worse things than dishcloth cotton, aren’t there?

Now here is a line you won’t see repeated very often, fresh from Yahoo news:

“This year, the World Toilet Organization celebrates World Toilet Day by highlighting the plight of 42 percent of the world’s population, especially women, who do not have access to proper toilets,” the statement said.

Yes, there really is a World Toilet Organization, not to be confused with the American Restroom Association. And to think we just missed the World Toilet Summit 2005! Oh, and do visit that last link there, paying particular attention to the Summit Objectives page. Go ahead, I’ll wait on you.

How could anyone, referring to the event, say something like “This an extremely prestigious event…” I’m sure.

Or, what about this compelling teaser of one the speakers – “who will set out the Singapore model of public toilet excellence.” Ugh.

I’m sure the attendees where the butt of jokes amongst their friends. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.
