Toilet facts:

The average person spends three years of their life on the “john”.
The average person flushes a toilet about 2500 times a year, while using about eight sheets of toilet paper per day.
An estimated 2.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to proper toilet facilities, particularly in rural areas of China and India.
Lack of suitable toilets and sanitation kills approximately 1.8 million people a year, many of them children.
According to Jack Sims, a further 500 million toilets are needed to bridge the gap in sanitation.
The first flushing toilet was invented in 1596 by Sir John Harrington, a British noble and godson to Queen Elizabeth I. He only invented one, as he was ridiculed by his peers, but he still used it for himself.
Most toilets flush in the key of E flat.
On average, a person will use 22 litres of drinkable water every day flushing a toilet.

while using about eight sheets of toilet paper per day.

Not sure of what to make of this statistic. I would have bet most people can't make it through one "full" session with only 8 sheets of TP. I guess one could argue that my definition of sheet (square) is "crappy".

Another fact:

The lid hurts like hell when it hits you on the back of the head!

Or when you're only 2 years old and can barely "get over the rim" so to speak. Then your name is in the crapper for not being potty trained until you are 4 because you have a genuine fear of the toilet.

1. The longest dump ever verified was produced by an American, who produced a 'staggering turd' over a period of 2 hr 12 minutes which was officially measured at 12 ft 2in. The offender is banned from 134 washrooms in his state.

2. Bernard Clemmens of London managed to sustain a fart for an officially recorded time of 2 minutes, 42 seconds.

3. 72.4% of people place their toilet paper on the roll forward (with the loose end over the roll, towards the user).

4. The visitors at Yellowstone Park create 270 million gallons of waste per year, and use up to 18 rolls of toilet paper, per toilet, per day!

5. One of the most difficult items for sewage workers to handle, as it is insoluble, yet fine enough to pass through most filtration systems, is pubic hair.

6. 98% of all Americans feel better about themselves when they flush a toilet.

All I could add to this is ALWAYS put the seat down after use I did not and my wife got up in the middle of the night and didn't turn on a light so when she sat down she didn't stop till she hit the water.
Man did I catch it :surrender assout:
