The loo. The can. The throne.

Well, there's always the original...

Anything's better than those damn floor-level squat toilets!

Actually, no.

Squatting is the most natural--and the healthiest--position to defecate in.

$5200 toilet, bah! I've got 2 40 year old American-Standards. When they flush the local reservoir visibly drops. Eat your hearts out.

No jealousy here (I've got the same setup). :-)

If I needed an automatic butt wipe, I'd just look on the Democratic side of the aisle.

Tough on the quads, though.

And they're also easy to fix--no mystery how they work.

If the gov is so worried about saving water, then they should simply reduce the number of immigrants, rather than forcing us to conserve water!

It's hell on the knees getting up, though, and you want to be careful where you put your hands. Lived in Japan eight years.

The really interesting one was where you had to go in the train, and looked down, and saw the railbed flashing by...

SOUND CONCEPT ... Toto Ltd. public relations staff Kuniko Kato puts her hand over the sensor of ‘Sound Princess,’ which makes a flushing sound to mask the noises of nature. The device, a curious mix of Japanese bashfulness and modern technology, are becoming widespread.

Why not just have continuous recordings of "sounds of nature" so no one will no which is you and which is Memorex?

I had an interesting experience with this type of WC in Russia years ago while waiting for a plane to board. The communal bathroom had no doors on the stalls and you got the lovely view of a lot of squatting bare bottoms when you walked in. Being a sensitive teenager, I refused to expose myself. It was one of the most painful 2 hours I ever spent, waiting for that darn plane! LOL

No way!!!!

A real flusher is a federal offense!

Try bringing one across the border from Canada.

You are better off assisting a mexican with water in Sierra Vista, AZ.

You get ten extra points in bear country if there are no scuff marks.
