Chongqing, China has made a bid to host the 2008 Republican National Convention. Backers of the bid
point out that the city is the site of the world's largest
public restroom: 1,000 toilets in a building four-stories
tall with over 32,000 square feet. A spokesman for the
city says, "We are spreading toilet culture. Republicans
can listen to gentle music, make friends, and watch TV.
After they use the bathroom, they will be very, very happy."
