 That's probably because you're one of those lamers that uses the
 low-volume toilets, that you have to flush 3 times to get everything
 out of the bowl.

 Me?  I go out and find Old Skool toilets, that have at least a 5 gal
 capacity.  Not that I need it, but just in case

Ah, but have you tried a high-end Japanese-manufactured low-volume
toilet?




Neither my end nor my pocketbook are high enough to try them . .




Those work very nicely, and use less water.  Best of both
worlds.  :)

you're getting hit with a load of crâp . . .

 How about regular versus low-flow?
 
 (Which is frequently NO-flow . . .

The alien kidnaps high school students story that our good Dr. Brin is working on has 
the entire hish school transported. All of the toilets become NO-flow.

There. I got the string back on to Brin-esque thoughts.

So are refridgerators, lights, stairs, watches, chairs, keys etc etc but 
barely a whisper on these...
I think we should acknowledge the unique nature of our list, but not 
embrace it...

How do you childproof a toilet? (I'll leave the how do you toilet train 
a child with a childproofed toilet question until Sammy is older).
