Yesterday I was walking past one of the larger hotels in Antalya, and noticed a banner welcoming the “Fifth National Sterilization and Disinfection Convention.” Oh dear. How wild and crazy would that be? You’d almost welcome the Trekkies after that, just to bring the place back to life again. I wonder what sort of cosplay one can expect at DisinfecCon… a giant handcuffed bacterium being dominated by a woman dressed as a toilet brush? Maybe I should stop there. I had a look inside the hotel, but there didn’t appear to be any free stuff. I thought they might be giving away those antibacterial baby wipes or something like that. But seriously, I agree with the sign, and extend a warm welcome to Antalya for all the convention members.
[…] I’m not sure if this is quite as ridiculous as DisinfecCon, but nonetheless I thought the ridiculousness of the Wheat and Flour Fortification Congress deserved a mention. No disrespect meant to the attendees, but seriously, who thinks these things up? Does the world’s food supply depend upon these people getting together once a year or something? Or is it a social networking thing? I didn’t actually go in there (I was a little afraid, actually), so I can’t say what was going on, but I’m sure it was spellbinding. Who knows, maybe they had strippers and tequila. Tags: events, funny, turkey […]
