Cool.

I've started using some of those things that I had been saving for a rainy day, or hard times, or special occasions, or whatever. No use saving it if it's all gonna go up in a ball of fire anyway, 3 billion years from now.

That's for sure. You know, when you think about it, as much time as everyone spends perched on those things during their lifetimes, it seems kind of odd that there aren't a lot more "loos with a view".

In case anyone wonders what we're talking about, Gabes was kind enough to send me a rather impressive and unique book called Good Loo Hunting, which pictures and describes loos all over the world with the most spectacular views that you can imagine. If more facilities of that sort were widely available, this disease might not be so depressing.

Have you seen the picture going around on e-mail of the bathroom on the street where the walls are all one-way mirrors? No one can see in, but the person inside feels like he/she is using the bathroom in view of everyone.

BTW, I'm not planning to be around in 3 billion years, so you'll have to start the party without me.

Hi Tex,

I was missing the facts of the day......Brandy

Hi Marliss,

I believe I've seen the picture you mentioned. For some reason or other, that doesn't strike me as a design that would interest me, though. LOL.

I'll stick my neck out and predict that by the time those galaxies collide, the GI docs will have figured out how to treat MC.

Brandy,

Sorry, I kind of got behind on the job.

ohh come on tex
i think you are being a bit ambitious with that statement!!!

Gabes,

You're probably right, but I figure I can get away with it, because I won't be around then, so no one will be able to tell me how dumb I was to make such an ambitious prediction.

I haven't checked out that fact about the heart either, but I know that a baby boy with a full bladder can hit the ceiling in response to the cold when his diaper is removed.
