As I was surfing the net, I encountered such facts I considered fun, true and good to share. These facts may seem so strange but if we only open our eyes to what’s really happening around the globe, and then we can see that these facts are real. Toilets-we often use them but seldom talk about them, they look too simple yet there are a lot of amazing truths about them. Here are some facts I have collected. We sure can laugh about this truths but can’t just neglect them.

Lack of suitable toilets and sanitation kills approximately 1.8 million people a year, many of them children.
Strange but true. It’s nice to know our comfort zones!
