42 more days...

A Royal Flush...
Fun on the Throne

You might recall that just a few days ago Karen warned us of the perils of travel, which included the advice "...never flush the toilet while sitting on it! ...you can really be injured seriously."



Wow!  Could this be true?!?  I have flown on airplanes before, and while the toilets there are rather unpleasant, loud, and odd, I had never felt threatened by the flush action.  In fact, Mythbusters did a piece on the danger of airplane toilets (the myth was busted), but never on cruise toilets...  This warranted more investigation!


A brief search of the Internets yielded some compelling evidence!  Allow me to present 'Exhibit A':

(The best part begins about 40 seconds into the video)

Well, it sure looks powerful, and potentially dangerous.  Returning to the Internets for more searching resulted in the discovery OF AN ACTUAL EXPERIMENT!!!  (Please note: While there is nothing graphic, nor overly disgusting, these teenagers do use a little potty-mouth in the background.  Be forewarned, and mute your sound if you have never heard those words before...)


So apparently, it can be survived...  But would YOU take the chance?
I mean you, Nana...  Would you do it for a buck?  We could post it with the Titanic video!

Just wait until Tuesday, when we create our own little experiment...
Muh-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!

  2. Wonder how much of a role of toilet paper it would unravel?
