From the East Meets West Department comes this marvelous adaptation of a traditional Turkish Toilet for westerners to use. Very thoughtful, because everyone knows that unless westerners are lost in the woods, we don’t do squat.

It’s a health and safety measure, because unless you know what you’re doing, you’re risking a pantload. Doing one’s business in a traffic cone, by comparison, is much more civil, and we’re all about health, safety and civility here on
The Overnight Open *ahem* Thread.

Something about this photo fascinates and disgusts me at the same time, but these sentient denizens of the deep don’t deserve to be humiliated like this.

After all, octopi are clever problem solvers when they’re not being attacked by a school of peckerfish. They’re more intelligent than cats, which are nothing more than petulent furry lizards with a pentient for leaving little presents behind the Rec Room couch.

Speaking of little presents, it’s time for The Overnight Open Thread.
