- AmyVernon, on 10/26/2008, -1/+49What I want to know is, how do I get a job with the World Toilet Organization, and do they give their employees business cards?
- Shiftgood, on 10/26/2008, -0/+41I totally have a toilet.
- kowcun, on 10/26/2008, -0/+39Toilets are awesome.
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -2/+36If you think about, they do have a good point. Toilets + Sewer systems have probably saved many millions of lives?
- inactive, on 10/26/2008, -0/+20there was no purpose for that '?'
- joecoool, on 10/26/2008, -1/+20this submission made me think of al bundy for some reason
- kss42, on 10/26/2008, -0/+17I am on one.
- dfsjdkflasjk, on 10/26/2008, -0/+16No one needs to know about your sexual escapades.
- megagram, on 10/26/2008, -1/+17Except to express the poster's lack of confidence in his statement and the entire idea as a whole?
- omenmedia, on 10/26/2008, -2/+17"Hi, I'm Jack Sim, the head of the WTO."
"OMG, you're the head of the World Trade Organisation??!"
"Uh, no, the World Toilet Organisation."
*sound of crickets*
"Oh."
*backs away slowly* - Sammyshoe, on 10/26/2008, -1/+14I'd say toilets/good sanitation systems have saved billions of lives. I'm an environmental engineer and have a high opinion of my field though. :-)
- jman583, on 10/26/2008, -0/+10I have two.
- malanic, on 10/26/2008, -1/+11First you'll have to attain a PhD in crapology at the World Toilet College;
http://www.worldtoilet.org/ourwork3.asp - jayrok, on 10/26/2008, -1/+11I'm trying to picture what the job interviews to work for this organization must be like.
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
"Sitting on YOUR toilet seat." - Eggzb, on 10/26/2008, -0/+9Best thing about my day is I go to work and sit on a toilet for as long as I want, on the clock.
- fullmetalglove, on 10/26/2008, -0/+8I thought that the modern sanitary system being the greatest life saver ever was quite well known today. I personally think it's the greatest invention ever.(Yeah screw the internet) It breaks my heart to think of all those who don't have access to one : (
- Awspire, on 10/26/2008, -0/+8During a "crappy" day of work, you'll feel even better to take a long crap at work on their dime.
- EntropyMan, on 10/26/2008, -1/+9One clear advantage: No one protests this WTO.
(toilets worldwide will take none of that *****) - popstation, on 10/26/2008, -1/+9Best thing about my day is that I can come home from work and sit on my toilet for as long as I want, it feels good to take a crap after a crappy day at work.
- Trollbane, on 10/26/2008, -2/+10That was a really crappy pun
- ElectroStep, on 10/26/2008, -1/+8We can always trust the World Toilet Organization for un-bias information like this.
- ryanonfire, on 10/26/2008, -0/+7me too
- Callidus, on 10/26/2008, -0/+6This thread is going down the drain.
- dfsjdkflasjk, on 10/26/2008, -1/+6Your comment failed.
- nullcodes, on 10/26/2008, -4/+9Toilets are the greatest health breakthrough ever?? You gotta be ***** me!
- EntropyMan, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5I'd say the sanitation systems have done far more than the toilets alone. Toilets leading out into the streets didn't do too much for public health.
It's almost as if this article extols the virtue of The Cart without acknowledging The Horse that pulls it. - avengingturnip, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Al: When I was a boy I told myself when I grew up I would have one thing. A toilet bowl like my dad had.
Peggy: I thought it was a head like a peanut. He had one of those, too.
Al: you're not going to ruin my moment, Peg. Now stand back and feast your eyes on... this!
Kelly: is it just me, or is that a toilet?
Al: Not just a toilet... a FERGUSON. The King of bowls! - Rudegar, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5and being cleaner then keyboards
guess keyboards are the biggest health hazard? - gotcheaprice, on 10/26/2008, -2/+7I came to appreciate western toilets after being in rural China for 2 weeks.
- mrjit, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5Sounded funny in your head I bet.
- Solstice, on 10/26/2008, -0/+5"There's poo in there."
- theplop, on 10/26/2008, -1/+5From this day forth...all the toilets in this kingdom shall be known as... "Johns."
- ryanonfire, on 10/26/2008, -1/+5I thought it was the toothbrush.
- ripple123, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4pooing in the corner of the room is overrated imho.
- malanic, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4There's also the advantage that as a doctor of crapology, and fully certified crapologist, 'the world is your toilet'.
- slayernine, on 10/26/2008, -0/+4Not if you drop it in the toilet
- MacBookForMe, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3and toilette scrap paper instead of employees business cards...
- nebbyneb, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3A toilet is nothing without toilet paper.
- SeaweedWater, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3Hows about soap?
- shawnanigans, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3It's the problem with sexy causes. Breast cancer for example, it is one of the most detectable and preventable cancers as well as having a high survivability. But other cancers, like lung, prostate and pancreatic get no publicity. Pancreatic cancer has an extremely chance of survival, under 5% and direly needs research. Diarrhea is incredibly unsexy, yet kills millions of people a year. Clean water is such a small thing but so incredibly important to health.
- nullcodes, on 10/26/2008, -0/+3"A toilet is mainly a western innovation"
*****. Why not check on google or some encyclopedia first?

Sanitary waste water treatment, or lack there of has been the 800-pound gorilla of public health for a century! - EvilFerret, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2I do like to poop.
- carpespasm, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2evidence pleaz?
- SammyJr, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2That exact problem is what has given rise to "grey water" systems. They use water that's not dirty but still not drinkable from clothes washers and what not and put it into the toliet. Saves fresh water.
- schrutefan, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2Toilets are fantasic. For me to poop on.
- whahaa, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2i've heard of toilets.
- RudeTurnip, on 10/26/2008, -0/+2I have a lot of dirty tupperware.
