(Before you accuse me of scouring the net for ancient toilets, be aware Bob's site was a Yahoo! Pick of the Day for April 5.)

Bob has spent a great deal of time in the former Soviet Union, northern Africa, eastern Europe and western Asia and, let me tell you, it's not just porn that best when made in the U.S.A. Some of these exhibits are downright hideous, from the seatless crapper in Greece's Akti Hotel (cancel your reservations now) to the Egyptian floor-mounted squatter that comes complete with a hose — and it ain't for watering daisies.

The Internet is great for many things. The aforementioned porn being the best, but also for helping us learn about the world from the comfort of our own homes, where we are free to pop a squat without catching any diseases.
