Bad Science

[Moscow Mule]

There's a great tradition of turd examination across the whole of Eastern Europe. Didn't know it had spread to NL though.

I'd love to see the research that prompted the creation of a turd examination ledge in every toilet.

I've also wondered what would happen if you had a particularly stubborn turd - would the flush be diverted upwards and out of the bowl?

[EternalOptimist]

We have those in NL too. One real advantage is the reduction of the turd induced splash that would otherwise foul one's bottom.

Another example of flawed logic.
You will only get anal-splash-back if one end of the poo leaves your bum before the 'leading edge' enters the water. In this country we avoid your 'continental problems' by doing much longer poos.

And installing a hot-line to the coast guards in every bog.

No, but some post steak turds need to be helped on their way with the bog brush. Perhaps if you placed the cistern two floors above the loo you could create a force strong enough to fire the turd upwards off the lip of the shelf.

From a scientific thread to the hydraulics of turd drowning in a few easy steps. Another classic CUK thread. Give yourselves a round of applause, everyone.

Been off for a bit, but I hear we were talking poo so

Ledged toilets are rubbish. While they do offer the advantage of being able to examine one's own stool for health reasons or as an interesting hobby, I found the corresponding odour issues and staining of the bowl a real chore.

You could always sit on the toilet the wrong way round? (TIP - remember not to lean backwards)

I like it.

You'd need to hoist your bits, so as not to touch the "ledge".

Are you bragging? It's not a problem for me.
