An attack -- or even an attempted attack -- by Islamic extremists on Saudi Arabia's oil sector would have disastrous consequences on the world market and the price per barrel, analysts warn. Of more than 700 people arrested in the course of the last six months in Saudi Arabia, dozens had been part of cells charged with preparing attacks against oil sites, according to authorities in Riyadh.

Eh, they did the same thing here in Dallas before we opened the new, expensive, redundant area*. It seems to have become a national passtime as more cities open more arenas and stadiums.

It's a shitty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Omni, can you imagine if they paid people to do it?

Groom: "Um, yes sir."
Father of the bride: "What do you do for a living, son?"
Groom: "[...]"

"Free" trips for city employees to go on gambling, err, "R&R" excursions, at taxpayer expense, but, solicitations for unpaid volunteers to clean public toilets?
Unless there's something valuable IN the toilets, I doubt N.O. will have many takers here.

Flushing just water and paper is not a realistic test. Sorry, but if you want to know how a system will work when it's put into service you have to use realistic testing methods. They need about 200 volunteers to take a crap and then flush. It's the equivalent of firing a proof round in a gun.

I know the San Jose Arena did the same thing about 10 years ago, using boy scouts and girl scouts to simulate between hockey period flushing (without the beer smell, I'm sure).
