a degree in cleaning bathrooms

The World Toilet College in Singapore is starting to offer a 64-hour course to certify trainees as “restroom specialists”.  That seems like a lot of training on cleaning bathrooms.  But the city is promoting it for all 5,000 of its toilet cleaners, and the workers who complete it will get about a 27% raise, so obviously it’s a big deal to them.

Also from the article :

In November last year, the government released new guidelines for public toilet usage to cut down on long lines at women’s restrooms.  It has also published maps to Singapore’s 500 cleanest public toilets, and awarded “five-star” or “Happy Toilet” ratings to those with spic-and-span interiors.

The map of the cleanest public toilets sounds like a good idea.  I’m not really sure what the new “guidelines” are for public toilet usage…

random thought

I was lying in bed last night and the thought came to me.  i’m totally in favor of ‘capital punishment’… uppercase letters annoy me…

Mr. T vs. Chuck Norris

It’s too bad they never made an episode of the A-Team where Chuck Norris was the bad guy. He and Mr. T would have to fight (obviously), but they’d have to use stunt doubles or the world might end.  They could use special effects to try to recreate what an actual fight between them might look like.

Here’s a fan-made story where Mr. T and Chuck Norris actually do fight, and they even encounter some zombie ninja crocodiles with lasers.  (Yeah, it’s definitely random; and there’s a slew of bad puns; you’ve been forewarned.)  I won’t tell you who wins.

(BTW, I pity the fool who doesn’t know who is.)

Mr. T on CNN

Last night my Pastor said something along the lines of, “I don’t have time for nonsense”, and it reminded me of this picture of Mr. T which I had looked at earlier that afternoon while preparing the next post.  I almost bust out laughing, but managed to refrain.

Enjoy…  This is classic.
