WTO, but not World Trade Organization

Then, what is WTO ? I found an article in the May edition of IEEE Spectrum about this new WTO. It is World Toilet organization!!!. It is the consortium of people designing nextgen potties and recycling facilities . Why they are in IEEE spectrum ? They had an World Expo in Shanghai last month showing off the innovations in the toilet technology area. The article describes an amazing range of high tech toilets exhibited there, some of which does not require even water for their operation.

The official site of WTO says that there is a World Toilet summit to be held in Sept'05 in UK. This might be interesting to a friend of mine who wanted to import an autocleaning toilet from Japan to Kanjirappalli.. :-)

I am just thinking that we can have other similar organizations too.. Such as World Diningtable Org, World Earbud Org, World Barstool Org etc.. the possibilities are enormous.. :-)
