Seeking Relief Down Under, Via Web

HiyaPower writes: "Never let it be said that our friends in Australia are behind the times. According to this Wired article, an Australian company, NGIS, will be putting the first searchable database of the location of Australia's 13,000 public toilets on the Web. I mean there you are, far from civilization with only your trusty portable computer and you gotta go, well now you can. Now if only they could do this for working public phone booths ..." I wonder if there is a public-toilet Web ring? If not, this deserves a place of honor on it, as does the down-to-earth besttoilets.com, though I would add to its New York section the very nice restrooms at SIBL.

Makes us more dependent

Didn't the recent tragedy in Australia teach us anything about intermixing our vital activities with the internet? Let's just wait until we all need a satellite connection to go to the toilet... and then a misplaced anchor takes out one of the main fiber lines. Nationwide chaos!

"Sir, the line's been cut! We're spewing data all over the place."
"That's not all that's being spewed, Johnson. May God have mercy on us."
