Today's Sanitary URL

We have been having a few problems in the powder room downstairs—it does not always completely dispose of the contents thereof. This is embarrassing (although not as embarrassing as when the pipe in back would without warning give way and flood the floor).

The video below is of a toilet of which I can only dream. After seeing the video, however, I do think there were probably some raised eyebrows at the sewerage plant.

Today's Second Sanitary Video

I don't know why this is Toilet Day on teh intarwebz, but it is. Note that this place uses artificial human waste: 1 pound of soyabean paste packed into casings. No blenders full of gummi bears.

Today's Cross-Dressing URL

I am comfortable around those who cross-dress, who are transgender, or who break gender barriers in any way possible. This video is very sweet on the subject.

The video below is of a Japanese TV show in which older teenage boys get a makeover that changes them into older teenage girls. Apparently there's quite a few clips of this sloshing around YouTube.

I found this one quite touching when the madeover boy was kissed by another boy on screen. It would make an interesting subject for an essay on how transgender people are related to by same-biological-sex people.
