You think you're bored?

If you ever find yourself bored or complaining of boredom or, worse, someone around you is, remember, it could always be worse. From The Star today:

New rest room lures hundreds to Lucas, Kan.

And the story?

LUCAS, KAN. -- Hundreds of people gathered in the central Kansas town of Lucas to take part in the grand opening of the town's quirky new public rest room.

Organizers said the Bowl Plaza Grand Opening was the culmination of a four-year dream to build a downtown rest room in Lucas. But Bowl Plaza, built with the help of a grant from the state Department of Commerce, never was intended to be a typical rest room.

The rectangular men's and women's building is shaped like a toilet tank, and the oval-painted entrance resembles an upraised toilet seat lid.

The walkway to and from the rest rooms is shaped like an unfurling toilet paper roll.

The daylong event Saturday included a toilet seat toss and Tubular Olympics with empty toilet paper rolls.


So just don't tell me you're bored and there's nothing to do, mmm-kay?
