Japanese toilet maker TOTO employee Akiko Matsuyama gets on a "Toilet Bike Neo" displayed at its showroom in Fujisawa, near Tokyo, Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012. There’s a new way to travel -- and take care of nature’s call. Japanese toilet maker TOTO rolled out an eco-friendly three-wheel 250cc motorcycle with a specially customized toilet-shaped seat that runs on bio-fuel from the discharge of livestock or waste water. The "Toilet Bike Neo" is to raise awareness about water waste and emissions from live stock, the company said. TOTO’s says they want to reduce waste CO2 emissions by 50% by the year 2017.NEWSLETTERS Receive the latest weird updates in your inboxA new motorcycle that has a toilet for a seat and runs on sewage just completed a 600-mile trek across Japan.The eco-friendly, three-wheel Neo runs on biogas produced from sewage and was built by Japanese toilet maker Toto. It has a (non-working) toilet for a seat and a giant roll of toilet paper mounted on the back.

Plastic Surgery Gone WrongWhile the bike is not for sale and not designed for mass production, Toto hopes it will promote um, renewable energy. The bike's fuel is produced from a combination of household and livestock waste, broken down and fermented, company spokesman Kenji Fujita said."Although the seat of the bike is indeed a toilet, it is not for actual use," Fujita told Reuters. "The fuel is eco-friendly biogas, stored in the tanks on the back."Weird News Photos: Holiday Edition"It's a surprisingly nice way to travel."The motorcycle can reach 45 miles per hour.Ichie Tanaka, one of six people who rode the Neo across Japan during the three-week tour, said she was relieved the journey was over."At first when I saw the bike, I was taken aback. But after riding it, I found it quite interesting," she said. "It doesn't hurt at all and is actually quite comfortable to sit on." Yes this is real! Japanese toilet company TOTO just unveiled the ultimate green motorcycle – and it doesn’t run on gasoline or an electric motor.

Instead, TOTO’s “Toilet Bike Neo” runs on biogas that is produced from livestock waste. TOTO—which is not technically a motorcycle producer—created the poo-powered motorcycle topped with a toilet to promote TOTO’s environmental efforts. The Toilet Bike Neo is a three-wheeled motorcycle with a 250cc engine. Even though it’s seat is constructed out of a toilet, TOTO is quick to point out that the motorcycle does not run on human waste. The poop-powered motorcycle can travel up to 180 miles on a tank of animal waste. Last year, TOTO took the bike on a 876-mile journey across Japan. Kevin Fujita, a TOTO spokesman stated, “We hope to raise awareness among customers about our green campaign through development of environmentally-friendly products such as water-saving shower heads and water-saving toilets.” There are currently no plans to produce the Toilet Bike Neo for the commercial market. Among other astute observations since his campaign launch, Donald Trump noted: “I’m really rich.”

The one-page wealth summary he released in June reveals that his net worth exceeds $8.7 billion. (The Forbes list of billionaires pegged it at less than half that amount – a meager $4.1 billion.) After Trump announced his presidential bid, Stephen Colbert joked about Trump’s “luxurious, gold-plated, diamond encrusted” campaign. Strapless Hawaiian Wedding DressIn that spirit, here are the top eight most luxurious, gold-plated, diamond-encrusted items Trump has possessed.New Orleans Jazz Basketball T Shirt 8.

Rent, Paid in Gold Bullion Concerned about the value of the dollar, Trump ever-so-graciously accepted gold bullion in lieu of a deposit check from a new tenant in his 40 Wall Street property.

Tenant Michael Haynes, chief executive of precious metals dealer APMEX, paid Trump $200,000 worth of 0.9999 pure, 32.15-troy-ounce gold bars. 6. Custom Gold Motorcycle Keeping with the 24-karat theme, Paul Teutal Sr. of the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior designed Trump a chopper – branded with Trump’s name, of course – featuring 24-karat gold detailing and custom parts. Trump owns another kind of gold chopper. He upgraded one helicopter in his fleet to a top-grade Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, estimated at $7 million. The upgrade likely cost around $750,000. Obligatory gold items include seatbelt buckles, handles, and the family crests emblazoned inside. 4. Seven Springs Westchester Mansion When Trump and his family have a hankering for suburbia, they escape to this nearly 40,000-square-foot stone and glass mansion on 213 acres, complete with marble pool. He paid $7.5 million for the home in 1995, and it’s probably worth loads more now.

Private Jet, Boeing 757 This $100 million avian beast marked “TRUMP” is equipped with a 57-inch television, two wood-paneled bedrooms, and marble sinks, as well as the predictable 24-karat gold faucets, table legs, seatbelt buckles, trimmings, and insignias. 1. Trump Princess Yacht Move over, Marco Rubio. In Trump’s boat, the master stateroom has a tortoise-shell (the chic, endangered variety) ceiling and the master bedroom has its own barber chair for touching up that famous toupee (comb-over? red panda tail?). An onyx bathroom, a marble bar, three elevators, 3,500 square meters of suede, a movie theater, and 210 telephones are just a few of the other amenities. The Trump Organization appraised the yacht at $150 million–$200 million.
