Les Toilettes
You've got to know that I can't go through life without bringing you this significant find.
And, I've been using a boring old porcelain toilet bowl like a chump - how depressing.
Here is a sample of the interesting facts that you can learn at this Toilet Museum near Delhi.
"One such toilet is the throne of King Louis XlV. In fact, the contraption worked both as a throne and a toilet pot which the emperor used for his official duties and personal needs at the same time!"
They also say they have a double storey toilet. I've got to say, it would be pretty sh*tty if I had to use the bottom level of that one.
The information about the toilet museum adds
"Full of interesting sidelights the museum brings to focus this very important subject, which despite its humorous connotations, remains the most important calling in any person's life."
And, it's calling me as we speak. Must go.

I was watching The Worst Jobs in History http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/worstjobs/feature1.shtml
the other day and one of them was Henry VIII's Groomer of the Stool. They showed a "pot throne" similar to the one at that site you have linked and the job was wiping old Henry's ass. This wasn't a job for just anyone either, they had to be fairly high ranking in order to have this job because just not anyone's hands could touch his majesty.
