Toilet News

I debated on whether to post this and then thought “hey, it’s Friday… here we go!” So: Woman stuck after two years on toilet:

An American woman’s body had became attached to her boyfriend’s toilet after she sat on it for two years, police in Kansas said.

“She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,” said Bryan Whipple, the sheriff of Ness County.

Toilet seats down: a scientific and humorous analysis

Flushing Policies and Common Courtesy

The Cretin bathroom has four toilets: 2 urinals and 2 stalls. In the years past, people doing urinal-type activities in the stalls was not a problem: people flushed.

While this can “reduce your total household water usage by 20 - 25% if moderately applied” (source: 7th Generation), I sincerely doubt that the mystery mellower came from some water-starved desert area. Regardless, today I found out who was perpetrating this moderately smelly and unpleasant act.
