a commode-shaped house?

When I was in college, my freshman year was spent living in a dorm that was commonally referred to as “the toilet bowl.” It was a curved min-highrise that cradled a round main floor and cafeteria. Of course, no one told me this when I was still in highschool, picking out my housing. If they had, I may have made another choice. But imagine building yourself a home that intentionally looks like a commode? That’s what this man in South Korean has done, and he’s getting a tone of attention for it. The building’s unveiling is a part of the World Toilet Association’s World Toilet Summit next month, which is hoping to improve worldwide hygiene. Now that’s a conference I can definitely skip… though at least you’ll always know where the ladies room is! — Angela M.

    I think we attended the same college. We had a dorm, I believe it was Kimmel, that we called the Toilet Bowl. It was next to Watson.

    Tobey — Sounds like it… but the dorm I’m thinking of was called Haven. Ah.. the irony.

    Did you all go to Syracuse??
    I lived in Watson too many years ago to admit but don’t remember anything about a toilet shaped dorm.
    But speaking of the toilet house, maybe the man who lives there would like this diner…
