New reason to travel to China

Public toilets.

We're not talking your average cement-block hole in the ground with nasty odors wafting for blocks in either direction. This is a complex of more than 1,000 toilets spread out across more than 32,290 square feet, according to an Associated Press report from Beijing. Plus a pretty Egyptian-style facade and soothing music. Some of the urinals even sport fun designs, they say.

Word is that city officials might apply to the Guiness Book of World Records to have the free, four-story public bathroom listed as the largest in the world.

Wow.
