Test Your T.Q.

OK, this is just fun....look at the 11 photos and match them with their location.

Yes, they are photos of toilets.

No, the "T" in "T.Q." doesn't stand for "toilet," it stand for "travel."

The fun-loving folks at WhirlPad have come up with this rigorous scientific test to determine travel knowledge (or guesswork abilities)

I don't mean to brag, but I will, with my score of 152 :-)

(and I haven't even been to most of these places, and now that I've seen
their facilities I don't want to go...)

The contest honors the absolute worst opening paragraph for a novel in several categories (the title quote is a sample) Congratulations to the winners -- it takes some good writers to create such fabulously dire paragraphs.
