Man Building Loo to Save His Marriage

As per a report:

A Man in India is building a toilet to save his eight-year marriage. Dev Karan has been given a January 10 deadline by a court to build a toilet if he wants his wife back, who filed for divorce four years ago. Dev is sinking into debt to rescue his marriage despite the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government launching the Maryada scheme in 2012 to build free toilets to prevent women from defecating in the open. 

 His wife Savita and her father Devi Lal welcomed the court decision, Dev was in deep water as his daily wages of Rs 125 were not enough to even take care of his visually challenged father and disabled mother, let alone build a toilet. He needed to mobilize at least Rs 5,000.

Toilet Museum in India which exhibits Weird and Wonderful Historical Loos

Now what would you say to this Toilet museum which exhibits weird and wonderful historical loos to campaign for better hygiene in India. As  per one report:

A new museum has used hundreds of toilets to create a weird and wonderful exhibition - all to promote better hygiene in India. The museum in New Delhi, India, has made toilets a work of art, and they are a key to finding out more about our history. 

The Sublabh International Museum of Toilets showcases lavatories from the 1700s, ladies' chamber pots, and French disguised toilets. But perhaps the biggest attraction to this new world of sanitation is the replica of the throne of King Louis the XIV. Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of the NGO Sulabh International, which founded the museum, said: “It is indeed a very unusual museum and it’s the only one of its kind in the world. “A highlight of the museum is the replica of the throne of King Louis the XIV. 

The king is believed to have used this to defecate while conducting court sessions.” Hundreds flock each month to browse the facts, pictures and artifacts that date back to 2,500 BC. Let's just hope the plumbing keeps working or they will be in deep, well, trouble. Curators scoured the globe for unusual toilets to make the display as interesting as possible, and it doesn't disappoint. 

There are privies, chamber pots, toilet furniture, bidets and water closets, and the information boards tell you everything you could wish to know about sanitation across the world. Who wouldn't want to know where medieval women perched after all? With sanitation issues worse than ever in third world countries, the museum aims to inform people of how problems have developed over time.

32 Gold Nuggets found in Plane Toilet

As per a report:

Indian intelligence busted an international gold smuggling racket at Chennai airport on Sunday, and in the process discovered 32 gold nuggets, weighing roughly a kilogram each. The interesting part? They were hidden in a plane toilet, as per the report.

The Air India flight had just come in from Dubai and was headed on to Delhi, which may have been the gold's final destination. The gold was hidden in a pair of black camcorder bags. The alleged smugglers booked executive class seats, and stashed the gold in the bathroom closest to the cockpit. "We are not ruling out the role of some airline insiders," one officer says. "It is strange that no airline staff spotted two big bags inside the toilet next to the flight captain's cabin."
