  Vicar Poses With A Tiger In A Toilet – But It’s All For A Good Cause November 8, 2013 It’s something you don’t often see: a vicar having his photo taken with a tiger in the toilet. But the father-in-loo has a good excuse, as he has found a bog-standard way of donating hygienic toilets to poor communities worldwide. The Rev Chris Spittle has twinned all of the loos in his church with latrines in Burundi. This year, he asked his congregation to put their money down the drain (literally) and create a hitlist of local toilets that deserve to be twinned. Restrooms in nearby schools, a supermarket and an MP’s office were nominated, at a cost of £60 per throne. Churchgoers then voted for their favourites. Their ‘guerrilla twinning’ tactics also saw some Scouts stage a sponsored sit on a toilet. Mr Spittle, vicar of St Paul’s Church in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, added: ‘The way that it has all snowballed is rather incredible. What people love is that toilet twinning is a fun way of tackling a deadly serious issue. ‘Some 40 per cent of the world’s population don’t have somewhere safe, private or hygienic to go to the toilet. Every minute, three children under the age of five die because of dirty water and poor sanitation.’ Each twinned toilet is given a certificate, a photo of its latrine lookalike and exact GPS coordinates. The Toilet Twinning scheme is part of a nationwide campaign ahead of World Toilet Day on November 19. Anyone can twin a toilet with one a country such as Afghanistan, Nepal, Ethiopia or Cambodia. As the fundraising continues, it seems Mr Spittle is on a toilet roll. For the original article, go here. Going Paperless: Beaver Saves Trees By Working On A Laptop Instead November 7, 2013 ‘Dam! My computer’s frozen and I haven’t saved my work!’ This beaver has just logged on to his laptop and looks shocked at what he’s seeing. Then again, he might just be in disbelief at how many followers Justin Beaver has on Twitter. Even though this picture looks spur of the moment, it took the photographer weeks to catch the beaver in a perfect pose. Leopold Kanzler enticed the rodent with the latest apple products (the fruit kind, that is). The Austrian hid slices in the screen to make the shot look as natural as possible. He said: ‘I had to be extremely patient while waiting for the beaver to stand in all the right positions. ‘I’m not sure who had more fun, me or the beaver. But it seemed more than happy with receiving so many tasty treats.’ The picture of the eager beaver was taken on the banks of the Danube river, near Vienna. Although the furry creature is clearly branching out online, he has lodged a complaint with IT because his PC isn’t waterproof.
