Yes, I am very eager to hear about Ektachrome finally hitting stores and all... but, in the meantime, all we have to say is crap. :D

he never invented the flusing toilet he just had a very successful plumbing business and americans in england around ww1 saw his plaque everywhere
it was just good advertising.

what he did invent was the swan neck UNDER toilet bowl to keep the foul stench "out"
AND
the made improvements to the ballcock/shuttlecock ( float ) ...

but HE NEVER INVENTED the flushing toilet...
that was invented by someone else a few hundred years earlier ( 1500s )
and improved upon in the 1700s and mid 1800s by other people but not crapper.

A very nice history lesson... and a refreshing break from the juvenile humor... and in some instances... humour. I had no idea that you were a toilet scholar in addition to your other skills/knowledges! :smile:

I just check out this Instagram. It's laughable. A joke. You are right. Selfies everywhere. A place for narcissistic folks it seems.
