Trippiest bathroom in the world

So I walked out of Hum conference in the library this morning and walked downstairs following signs to the bathroom.

First thing I noticed was "whoa, everything is really really colorful."

Second thing I noticed, I walked into the big stall and there were two toilets in it. Comic-style question mark appears above my head as I sit down on one of them.

Then as I'm sitting there I look down at the floor and notice it's green-and-white checkered, and the diagonals form these optical "lines" suggesting harsh orthogonal movement.

Walking out of the stall I realize that the indiscriminate colorfulness I recognized initially is in fact a series of murals depicting Dr. Seuss characters. As I wash my hands I take a minute to look about me and appreciate the sheer bizarreness of my surroundings. Woe betide the Reedie who is anything but sober the first time they walk into this bathroom!

I remember walking in that bathroom for the first time. No one told me about it either.
