Only in Russia...

I couldn't believe it when I read the following story, if this is a sign of the times, the world is going to the shitter.

A MONUMENT to the enema, an experience most people would rather forget, has been unveiled outside a health spa in southern Russia.

The Russian city of Zheleznovodsk now boasts a bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 362kg and is held by three angels.

"There is no kitsch or obscenity, it is a successful work of art," spa director Alexander Kharchenko said.

"An enema is almost a symbol of our region."

The Caucasus Mountains region is known for dozens of spas where enemas with water from mineral springs are routinely administered to treat digestive and other complaints.

Kharchenko, 50, said the monument cost $42,000 and was installed in a square in front of his spa on Wednesday.

A banner declaring: "Let's beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas" - an allusion to a line from "The Twelve Chairs," a famous Soviet film comedy - was posted on one of the spa's walls.

Sculptor Svetlana Avakina said she designed the 5-foot-high monument with "irony and humor" and modeled the angels on those in works by Italian Renaissance painter Alessandro Botticelli.

"This device is eternal, it will never change," she said.

"We could promote this brand, turn it into a franchise with souvenirs and awards for medical doctors."

Dozens of monuments dedicated to characters from tall tales and popular jokes have been erected in post-Soviet Russia.

A Case of Klingons?

Have you ever wondered how those astronauts go to the loo when in space? With no gravity and no knowledge of just how it is done, the imagination comes up with a few scenarios. One would think the guys wouldn't have as much difficulty as the women but what about all the rest of the nasty business that has to happen. How many logs are in the Captains book?
Alas, the toilet on the International Space Station has broken down. Visions of meteor showers of the poo variety would be a nightmare. This of course does not happen but the astronauts have been making use of a loo on an escape craft that is attached to the International Space Station. Awaiting parts for the mending of the space toilet, it will then convert the urine of the astronauts into drinking water. Eeew that puts end to my space travel ideas.
