Surprising what you can find when you go looking for it!
It’s a Friday and I’m bored at work department.

When the septic tank is full, my toilet becomes extremely important.
At first glance, I thought this post read “How important is the toilet in your wife?”
I couldn’t figure out what it was asking. 
Good Lord! It was a typo after all! Martin Luther was writing about 95 feces!
Was all the Catholic guilt making him constipated? 
Oh, my. I foresee an object of pilgrimage for the Reformation. Plus ça change, etc.
I always knew old Luther was full of…well…never mind!

Rhein said the foundation would stop at letting the annual 80,000 visitors to Wittenberg sit on the toilet. “There’s a point where you have to draw the line,” he said.
Gee, I wonder if they will attempt to take samples for genetic matching.
Poor technician. 
Hmm… it sounds like they’re really excited about it. I reminds me of that scene in Life of Brian where that girl holds up the gourd and screams “Follow the gourd”. I don’t get it. :roll:
From the article
The 450-year-old toilet, which was very advanced for its time, is made out of stone blocks and, unusually, has a seat with a hole.
As opposed to a seat without one?
Reminds me of the saran wrap joke people played in school 
PS: I thought this was going to be a poll.
Sounds like a reference to the slavery-era spiritual that is said to be speaking of the dipper constellation that points to the North Star, and thus “Follow the Drinking Gourd” gets interpreted as go north to freedom.
Let’s not be too hasty and dismiss the value of a good toilet. It’s a great way to make things disappear when the cops are raiding your house, the reservoir in the back is a good hiding spot for beer, and I don’t currently have a mirror. Please help me.
Where I come from,going North is not the way to freedom…

‘Here I sit; I can do no other!’
I heard he used the legal documents from the Vatican for TP.
There’ll probably be some interesting articles in the sede vacantists’ newsletter… and a lively rebuttal from WELS.
Papal Bullshit.

I wonder how far this thread will go before it gets flushed?
You can definitely say that the board is not antiSEPTIC.
Did John Crapper really invent the modern toilet? http://archives.thedaily.washington.edu/1999/022599/F2.FACTOID.html
Speaking of modern toilets … has anyone considered how incredibly absurd it is to flush away waste products with good drinking water?
I’ve got a copy of this handbook and secret plans (well, they were secret) to add a waterless loo on the property.
