THAT’s a TOILET? Looks like a bathtub with a large drain. What do they do.....recline?

That’s a muslim footbath. They’re supposed to wash their feet before prayers.

No. Being used to pissing in the sand, they are deplorable shots.

Fact is a large part of the world does not sit on toilets, they squat, which means their entire populations have very strong muscles used for this function. That's why (I believe) in Vietnam you had references to "Charlie squatting in the bush" It's something they can do for hours.

I've often wondered about the comparative health effects of the two methods. Seems to me it results in stronger legs, not sure about when the person gets old and infirm.
