Bighugelabs.com has a new flickr tool called “DNA” that includes an “ego” search of who/what is linking to your photos. I gave it a whirl and found some of mine in the strangest places.

• O Mueller Pioneers (okay, not that strange given the number of photos I’ve taken at Mueller)
• phillyist.com – what a random place for a photo taken at the Austin Zoo
• Ash and Deshar – liked Mishka as a lolcat
• David Crow
• Superstitious Hyperrealist – links to a graffiti photo
• Corsaria
• Pandafix – again, not too surprising
• Animal Grahams – most definitely not a lion in the wild
• The Cute Project – another panda photo
• Flickring Tales

A new public restroom in China has more than 1,000 stalls, an Egyptian facade and soothing music.

“We are spreading toilet culture. People can listen to gentle music and watch TV,” said Lu Xiaoqing, an official with the Yangrenjie, or “Foreigners Street,” tourist area where the bathroom is located. “After they use the bathroom they will be very, very happy.”

Hey, who wouldn’t by happy to go to the bathroom with 1,000 strangers?
