$1.6 Million Loo House - Life in a Luxury Toilet

The founder of the World Toilet Association, SIM Jae-Duck of Seoul, Korea, has built the world’s only house designed like a loo. The $1.6 Million structure will be open to the public on November 11, 2007. Mr. Sim, who is 74 years old, was born in a toilet and plans to live in the house until he dies.

“It was intentional. My mother followed advice from my grandmother that people born in restrooms will enjoy long lives,’’ he said. “Toilets were once regarded as stinking and dirty places. Not any more. They must be treated as the sanctuary that protects human health.”

SIM Jae-Duck was born in a toilet and now he plans to live and die in one - a $US1.6 million ($1.8m) toilet-shaped house designed to promote his tireless campaign for cleaner loos worldwide. Mr Sim will open what is billed as the world's one and only toilet house on November 11 to mark the launch of his World Toilet Association. (news.au)

I wonder, if November 11th would become the World Toilet Day where everyone is encouraged to clean there toilet, what effect all that toilet cleaning chemicals flushed down that day would have on the environment?
