Yes, it's that time of the year again, when we give thanks for all our blessings.

No, wait. It's the Americans who do that. Well, I hope you're happy, you arrogant turkey-murderers.

Me, I celebrate more prosaic matters, such as:

[World Toilet Organization founder Jack] Sim said World Toilet Day could be celebrated in various ways.

"Some do it by cleaning together," he said from Bangkok, where he was touring a school toilet as part of the World Toilet Expo. The WTO [you would think that the World Trade Organization might have a problem with the acronym] was a key organizer of the event, at which hundreds of delegates discussed how to help the more than 2.6 billion people, including 1.9 billion in Asia, without access to proper sanitation.

A worthy goal. To get you in the mood, here's a (well done, considering) game where the object is to manage a public washroom. You are the intrepid attendant, doing battle against dirt and various fecal coliforms (the brown things) while buying new toilets, urinals, and sinks for your clients (the blue things), who tend to befoul the floor otherwise.

I think I got this from Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities, but I'm not sure. I've had the link for awhile, and this is the first chance I've been able to use it. For that, I too am grateful.

Warning: More-or-less SFW. There's music, which you can mute with a button at the upper right of the screen. It also, at least on my machine, takes a long time to load.
