Loo seat museum

ALAMO HEIGHTS, Texas -- Barney Smith's museum is something you might want to take in -- sitting down.

The Toilet Seat Museum, which rests on his property in Alamo Heights, Texas, is housed in his tin-roofed garage. The museum is filled with 780 toilet seats and lids.

Smith has crafted designs on hundreds of the seats. One has a portrait of his dachshund.

The 85-year-old retired pastor even has a piece of Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein's toilet, which was sent to him by a U.S. Navy commander.

Smith said his wife wants him to can his toilet hobby. However, Smith said the pastime keeps him out of the singles bars.
