WORLD TOILET ORGANIZATION

True enough, when I read about Kenny Sia's World Toilet College entry, I am hoping deep down myself we will not in any way be involved with it! Today, I received an e-mail related to it and I just cannot stand it. Haha! Does Singapore have the MOST CLEANEST TOILETS IN THE WORLD to have the college here? Arrangements are being made for Professor Mang to deliver a guest lecture at our department!

Seriously speaking, my wild guess will be because of Newater developments that this college exist in the first place. Still, can't the environment or chemical engineers do it? Sigh! Wonder what are their job prospects. You can find out more if you check out their website.

If WTO stands for World Toilet Organization and not World Trade Organization, then WTC stands for World Toilet College and not World Trade Centre!!!
