After reading the first paragraph, I couldn't compose myself for a while, was laughing and I had reces pieces in my mouth... oh, and I was at work. It was a massacre. This is the kind of news I maintain vigilance for

[quote author=BBC news reporters]
A toilet which flushes to the sound of Italy's national anthem has been impounded by police in northern Italy, sparking great patriotic debate.[/quote]

PS: Any ideas on why the U.S. mid-term elections are the TOP STORY on BBC News? I can't make sense of it... We never see Parliament inagurations on the front of CNN.

That sounds like they're overreacting, alright.

Because Bush is about as popular with the British media as the Black death was to a medieval peasant and any story they think will bring bad news for him is a good news story for them.

Well when there are stories like a toilet flushing to the Italian national anthem being considered news-worthy I don't doubt major congressional elections of a international superpower are considered a top story.

[burn] Besides, I sing the Italian national anthem whenever I flush the toilet to honor what Italy has given places like Sk.net (PL). This is just cutting out the middle-man [/burn]

PL? Who's that?

Also, what about things like pizza, spaghetti, pasta, cello, and piano? Don't you sing Italy's national anthem for those too, while flushing?

Glad to see that at least you've got some sense of humor around here.

What is there to improve?! I'm a perfect member of this community, goddammit.
Anyways, back to the toilet, the flushing of which resembles Italy's national anthem.
