London's Olympic Park toilets to turn away from Mecca out of respect for Islamic law
Daily Mail ^ | 9-24-2008 | Daily Mail Reporter

Do they even have toilets over there? No I do not think i would be a muslim. You have to check your compass to pee. What would you do at the north pole? If the world is really round how can you point the right way? I get it they have to lie on their back and shoot strait up.

Why don't we just blow up Mecca so that it is everywhere so that Islamics can't take a dump and end up imploding. /s

Well, that’s just dumb. It means when they pray, they’ll be facing toilets.

Stage 1:
Start immigrating - move into a country quietly

Stage 2:
Begin starting churches: “learning centers”
community helps: food etc.

Stage 3:
Political activism: demanding rights, denounce
derogatory comments/press etc.

Stage 4:
Get elected, pass laws favoring rights etc. move toward
political majority

Stage 5:
Political control, Sharia Law

Does that mean that the user can launch a fatwa toward Mecca or does that mean that when the user launches a stream of hope and change that it is aimed at Mecca?

Does it come with music along with the swival loo?

Here We Go Loopy Loo

Here we go loopy loo
Here we go loopy light
Here we go loopy loo
All on a Saturday night
You put your right arm in
You put your right arm out
You shake it a little, a little
And turn yourself about
You put your left arm in
You put your left arm out
You shake it a little, a little
And turn yourself about
You put your right leg in
You put your right leg out
You shake it a little, a little
And turn yourself about
You put your left leg in
You put your left leg out
You shake it a little, a little
And turn yourself about
You twirl your whole self in
You twirl your whole self out
You shake it a little, a little
And turn yourself about

So they can’t poop when facing Mecca? Do they stand up to pee?

Swivel toilets ... now that concept would solve many problems. Would have saved the UK millions.
