This week, a new exhibit opened at a Tokyo science museum. It looks so crappy. Dubbed “Toilet!? Human Waste & Earth’s Future,” the exhibit centers around toilets and poop. Makes sense!

The Xbox One with Kinect bundle sure is pricy in South Korea! Today, it was listed at 598,000 Korean won ($592), but that’s slightly cheaper than what was listed earlier this month.
