Toilets are a big deal in Japan. Toto, the country's largest toilet maker recently unveiled its poop-powered hybrid toilet/motorcycle that talks and knows all sorts of magical tricks. Yeah, we're just as baffled as you are.

Not that we have anything against using poop as a power source, but Toto's "Bike Neo" seems like an incredibly crazy idea.

The company could have stopped at making it run on poop (it never crap out, as long as you keep crappin' in it), but it didn't. As if a toilet-bike wasn't wild enough, the Toto made sure the Bike Neo could write light messages with LED lights, play music and talk.

Yes, talk! It's not going to comfort you out of your constipation while roaring down a freeway, but it'll dole out fortunes, quote stocks and even tell you the weather forecast.

Toto's letting the Bike Neo loose on October 6 on a month-long tour from Kyushu to Tokyo. And to keep things kickin', one of those stops will be to an "ass-shaped boulder." How appropriate.
