Loyal reader and overall decent guy, Marco, requested that I post about his recent frustrations with the restroom.
From the mouth of Marco: "I had to rush to the bathroom to drop a steamer and I was delighted to find piss on the toilet seat. So I had to quickly wipe and clean the seat before papering and sitting down to then drop my deuce. It sucked. So there - blog that."
Oh, poor Marco...maybe we should all chip in and buy him this state-of-the-art high-tech toilet:
The latest model to come from the Land of the Rising Sun is the first to include built-in speakers and an SD card reader pre-loaded with classical music or nature sounds ('cause nothing makes you wanna use the can like the sound of birds chirping).
The toilet also has a night light for your after-dark toilet visits and an automatic sensor that lifts or closes the toilet lid when you approach.
In other totally random toilet news:
Did you know 855,000 phones are flushed down the toilet every year in the UK?
That's both true and ridiculous. SimplySwitch, a price comparison site that apparently services the UK, came up with this number. How many people are in the UK? 60.7 million? That's about 1.5% of the population that actually flushed their phones down the toilet.
Other interesting stats: 315,000 are lost in a taxi, 225,000 in a bus, 58,500 to dogs, and 116,000 in the laundry.
The creators of Reno 911 Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon have joined in the comedic quest to get out the vote to the YouTube generation. The two produced a series of hilarious shorts on the DeclareYourself.com click on "the message" section of the site to see them try to convince 18 year olds why it's only natural that they decide who becomes president.
This is actually a really great site...take some time to look around and pass along to friends and colleagues.
