I'd sweat thinking about doing it, let alone attempting it!

An Italian man won the race up the inside of the World's tallest building in Taipei.

What a relief! A giant toilet bowl stolen on its way to a novelty race meeting has been found by police.

It's a big relief for everyone

The 7ft-high loo-on-wheels was built by five friends to be entered in the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Seattle.

A Kings County Washington deputy police officer later found the bowl hidden under a tarpaulin on the side of the road when she was out on routine patrol.

"Holy crap, it's a giant toilet!" she was alleged to have said.

The 7ft high loo was a novelty racing car that was built by friends to take part in the annual Red Bull Soapbox Race.

It is thought thieves unwittingly pinched the toilet when they made off with the van hired by the racers to take their contraption to the event.
