Apparently there are toilet and toilet seat museums and art galleries. If you are near one take a picture of yourself with the travel bug in front of the building.
This is a crappy keychain. Ok its actuly a very nice keychain of a toilet :)
Flush what you heard about Thomas Crapper inventing the toilet.
Although Crapper filed nine toilet-related patents from 1881 to 1896, the aptly named gent isn’t the father of the modern flush toilet.
Sir John Harington beat Crapper to the punch nearly 300 years earlier with his revolutionary water closet design, which he illustrated in his 1596 treatise A New Discourse upon a Stale Subject: The Metamorphosis of Ajax.
Harington peddled his newfangled commode to his godmother, Queen Elizabeth I, who had the first one installed in Richmond Palace.
The flushing mechanism consisted of a pulling a knob to empty a water cistern, which sat above the toilet bowl. A rudimentary valve then released the water and the waste from the stool pot into a collection vault beneath the floor, which had to be routinely emptied
