The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsToilet News
There is a new potty training device out called "Toilet Buddies". Apparently these things are supposed be less intimidating for kids who are learning to tinkle and go doodie.
The object is to velcro fasten animal characters onto the toilet to make it more inviting to children.
Cast of Characters: "Poo P. Bunny", "Gatago Giraffe", "Puddles Puppy", and "Ca Ca Cow".
The creator of the product says that he came up with the idea after having a bout of food poisoning that kept him going to the toilet for 10 times a day.
I've got to say, that sounds like one heck of a bad food poisoning to me. The site does not indicate pricing, but I'm sure this product will make a splash... or should I say, plop.
On another bizarre note...
An application for cement made from dog poo has been filed by a German architect.
The dog poo cement is supposed to be odourless and used as a heating and building material. The innovator states that loads of doggy doo doo is collected from the streets in the city, so it might as well be put to use.
Talk about living in a sh*t hole. What's next for environmentalism?

It sounds like the movie Envy -- where there was a magic invention that got rid of dog shit, but created a toxic substance that killed other animals.
Maybe it will kill SUVs.

That was a pretty good Jack Black flick.
I was also thinking if they turned the cement into pavement for vehicles, the wear on the road would cause craters, which means they could change the name from potholes in the road to shitholes.

I remember reading many years ago about using animal...er...stuff to heat your home through the winter. You're supposed to lay it around the foundation, then cover it with a layer of straw. The decomposing material gives off heat as it breaks down (which it does) and supposedly doesn't stink badly in the winter, the straw keeps the heat from just rising away, and the outer walls of your home are heated. I haven't tried this one so I can't testify to its efficacy.

Friend of mine put a ping-pong ball in the toilet to stop her 7 year old peeing everywhere but in the bowl. Worked like a charm, fixed it for her husband too...

I think I'd rather see what I could do with chewed gum like Rich said in comments to that post. Wouldn't be nearly as gross to work with but I'm wondering if you lived in a cold climate if it would shatter? LOL

Martin Luther suffered chronic constipation and so was pretty much chained to das Klo. He wrote his 95 on the toilet and, infact, it was discovered last year somewhere in Saxony.
