When you walk into a bathroom at a highway rest stop, you expect to see long rows of marginally clean stalls with doors made out of an awkward green-gray plastic, a floor made out of those tiny little 1-inch-by-1-inch tiles that always seem to be light tan, and a wall of dirty mirrors and sinks littered with sopping wet paper towels all lit by those extremely unflattering fluorescent lights that make everyone look like aliens.
What you don't expect to see is this:
... and stalls containing toilets with green water, on purpose!
I won't lie; the first stall I looked into grossed me out a little bit, for I thought that the water was green for... other... reasons. Imagine my surprise when I saw the sign saying that the water is green because the entire rest stop is powered by a greenhouse full of plants whose energy has been harnessed and used to run indoor plumbing.
It was pretty awesome.
