A Bathroom That Cleans Itself
FiReaNGeL writes "Researchers at the University of New South Wales are developing new coatings they hope will be used for self-cleaning surfaces in hospitals and the home. It's made of a special nanoparticle coating that absorbs ultraviolet light below a certain wavelength and gives the particles an oxidizing quality stronger than any commercial bleach. Say goodbye to tedious bathroom cleaning!"

As long as it doesn't bleach my ass, I'm okay with it. It's white enough from lack of sunlight as it is, thank you very much.
How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?
There are times throughout the day when I must 'hit the can'.
A strange light inside the restroom, seems to make my skin turn tan.
Now I'm feeling ill from restroom visit number four.
If I do not get out of here, I'll faint upon the floor.
Ooohhhhhh, SuperHydroPhiliciticexpialidocious.
Just the very sound of it, makes me feel quite atrocious.
The chemicals inside this stuff, just burns my lungs ferocious.

Just because it has that "ox" in it doesn't mean that it's directly related to Oxygen.
Actually a large ruminant enters the bathroom and tramples the bacteria.
There are many sites on the internet with girls who disagree with that statement (at least on camera).
