Remember that statistic that pooh ejects almost 6 feet all over your bathroom in air molecules when you flush the toilet, thus reasoning why you should not place your toothbrush on the sink?

Is that the main reason why we should close the toilet seat THEN flush? Or can the pooh still circulate...

[JustJohn]

It can still circulate, though perhaps not as easily. And it's poo. Pooh is a bear.

[JMO]

Noone told me about that statistic and now I am slightly freaked out.

[SuperHero]

you guys need to watch mythbusters.

Think about prisoners that must use their toilet as their sink, too. Now stop complaining!

This topic (which comes up on Daves every year or so) puts me in mind of this funny bit of writing:

Fecal Matter Of The USA


Short short stories

Dave Eggers
Saturday March 19, 2005
The Guardian


News from America: fecal matter has been voted the most popular new term of 2005. It is talked about daily in our newscasts, and hourly in our bars and churches. It is all anyone talks about, when we're not talking about the dress of Hilary Swank, and whether she was wearing it backwards or upside-down. Fecal matter, yes, is the phrase of the day, and it increases in prevalence each time scientists find, and the media disseminates, new data about where it abounds. First it was bathroom doorknobs. Bathroom doorknobs, they said, were covered in the fecal matter of those who declined to wash after their business. We said, yes, that seemed understandable, that there'd be fecal matter on the doorknobs of bathrooms. Then there was a correction. "Did we say bathroom doorknobs?" they said. "We meant all doorknobs." We sighed and accepted that never again would we touch a doorknob, unless we could wash soon after.

Just then, the phone rang. It was another correction. "Did we say doorknobs? We meant doorknobs and ATMs and mint bowls at restaurants. And escalator guide-rails. And stuffed animals, chairs, coins and windows." We hung up and, feeling blue, made an Aquavit and orange juice. We glanced at the front door in time to catch a note being slipped underneath. "Also," it said, "pillows, babies, paper and tyres. On all these things, wouldn't you know it, we have discovered fecal matter. Sometimes more of it than you'd care to know." We made another Aquavit and orange, and wondered if there was so much fecal matter elsewhere, in Scandinavia, say. The mail came a few hours later, and in it was a letter with a longer list, more details and many sketches. "PS," it said, "It's no better in Scandinavia. Open-faced sandwiches? We needn't explain the implications."

i've never heard such a ridiculous thing in my life. now i can make koreans feel better by telling them this superstition after i laugh at them about fan death.

i've only been told to keep the toilet seat, not lid, down so women don't go for a splash.

bumpkins!

[mindmetoo]

There is fecal matter everywhere, including our water. It's probably better to take in your own fecal matter as it has the bacteria unique to your intestines. Forget probiotics. There's your real probiotics right there.

Anyway, I always close the seat right after doing my business as nothing sucks like dropping something in the toilet.
