Mount Ever Rest

High On A Hill Lives A (Very Relieved) Goatherd

Europe’s highest toilet has been built on the snow-capped peak of France's Mont Blanc. More than 30,000 visitors make their way to the peak each year and local mayor Jean-Marc Peillex said: "This move was much needed. Our beautiful mountain's white peak was full of yellow and brown spots in summer." The two toilets were flown up Mont Blanc to a height of 4260 metres. A helicopter will also be used to empty the toilets on a daily basis at, er, peak times for visitors.

FOOTNOTE: Mind your pees and queues.

Gizmo Machismo :)

Jumpin’ Jack Flush

Think you deserve a throne that has every possible gadget within arm's reach? Then this one's for you. A US plumbing firm has created a luxury toilet equipped with a laptop computer and flat-screen TV which it plans to give away in an online sweepstake. According to Boston.com, Ohio-based Roto-Rooter says its ``Pimped Out John'' is designed to ``fulfill all your wildest bathroom dreams''. Special features include an iPod music player and speakers, an Xbox video game console, a cycling exercise machine and a refrigerator filled with drinks and snacks. Roto-Rooter spokesman Paul Abrams said the firm spent about $5000 on parts and components to customise the toilet. Any resident of the United States could win this "gleaming monument to personal convenience" by entering the sweepstake at http://www.rotorooter.com/ before April 2. You might never want to leave your bathroom again.
