Reinventing The Toilet

[softgeorge]

Ah Thailand is now the toilet HUB. Thailand is 60 years behind the developed world when it comes to sewage treatment and still installing septic tanks at every new house built in new estates. The septic tank technology went out over 60 yrs ago, instead of stockpiling your countries poop in anticipation of a world shortage move with the times and catch up. No othere country is in competition with you to become the <deleted> HUB of the world.

The original toilet seat was actually invented by an Irishman.

Then an Englishman improved the original design by putting a hole in it.

I think he was called Crapper,if I remember correctly.

Thomas Crapper.

I am a little confused, looking at the photograph I can't see a single asian in the group. Is this story the result of a demonstration by farangs in Thailand (Bangkok) prostesting against the squat toilets? The farangs look a little silly protesting about this, if they are not happy with Thai toilets don't expect Thailand to change just for them.

True and from which comes the terms he crapped his pants or I am going to take a crap.

Interesting, how the picture of a strike at the university hospital in Erlangen/Germany in 2009 makes it to this headline!

The 'girls' only wanted more money, not new toilets!

Thanks for the info. I was wondering how on earth that pic headed up the article.

Guess the reporter googled "toilet+pic" and chose that one for some reason.

This for the Thai -connection!

re. the urinal shaped like Mick Jaggers lips............

There was quite a 'hullabaloo' recently in Sydney when the 'pcers' and the 'women's libbers'

discovered that a particular pub or nightclub had a urinal like the above.

They kicked up such a stink that, in the end, the owners had to remove Mick's lips from their premises,apoligise ( to whom, I'm quite sure )

and probably promise never to 'do that again,you naughty boys'.

Some of the feminists were almost literally foaming at the mouth ,going on about how it was 'demeaning to women all around the world'

and how this was just another example of how men denigrate and demean women etc.etc..............

But....Hey...it's just a urinal shaped like Mick Jaggers Lips and painted red FCS... !!!.

Nothing to do with women at all.................

Jeez they're a funny lot sometimes...aren't they ?

He has already been flushed away due to his material make up.

Most toilets out here are fine - it is the

lack of toilet paper, soap, and hand towels

for the user that needs changing.

Will you be asking for this next?

Thomas Crapper.

While he did not invent the flushing toilet, he is credited with inventing the ball-cock, an integral part thereof.

I think it is a Thai media thing, they just pull a photograph out of the toilet and use it even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the story. I guess they think most people will not notice mind blowing huge error after all the educated editor did not notice the huge flaw staring him in the face.

Some people need to harden up, we aussies don't need airconditioned toilets with soothing piped music, littered with rose petals and rose water on tap to gentely wash our rear end oriface. A bit of scrub out the back and a few Gympie-Gympie leaves and the job is done.

Guess he's still floating around somewhere.

The problem is...is that all the fancy hi-tech loo's will break; especially

if they come from Europe or Japan...and nobody out here will be able

to fix em so they'll eventually overflow and shit will happen all over

the place.

However...these really work very well and need little maintenance,

plus they're quite cost effective and easy for everybody to use.

Here's 4 examples....

Like the two story one! would be perfect for areas with high land prices, maybe they can make it 10 story high?

It's been done already.

Well it sounds good but Bill and Melinda Gates don't spend their money unless they have done some research on the subject. The system will not work in buildings. That is why it is being used in parks and roadside stops.

It is a start

A urine-diverting-dehydration toilet. 1:Humus compartment, 2:Ventilation pipe, 3:Toilet seat, 4:Urinal, 5:Urine collection and dehydration, A:Second floor, B:First floor, C:Ground floor

from the diagram it looks like you would have to have at least a two floor building.

Animatic: Sir John Harrington made the first flush toilet, then crapper improved on it with the Ballcock; not to be confused with any other type of cock, like the peacock etc etc or confused with a mail chicken also referred to as a cock for cockfights.

When I was in South Korea back in '94 they were using human waste on farm fields for fertilizer. Gave the country a certain "air" about it. Don't know if Thailand has ever done this, but would guess likely. I can help out with the biogas part if Thailand wants it.

Which is very dangerous, human waste can fertilize grass and bushes but not food crops.

Obviously those are western Toilets and not from thailand, or else foreigners might get the impression that Thailand was once colonized!

@chooka...Yup redbacks included as well as big scorpions, tokays (got one in

mine...big bugger too), the odd snake and crapper rats. Then again I live in a

rural environment and we get that shit all the time!...Or we leave that shit all

the time...hah!

@HiSoLowSoNoSo....A 10 story jobber eh...hell then we'd need a lift next to

it to stop on all the levels...nah....better to line em up all in a row! The 2 story

jobber was designed for Parliament...or large multinational corporations.

They don’t need to reinvent the toilet they just need to clean the existing ones

Hey guys, take a look at the plastik bags, the toiletladies are wearing:

German language (easy, use google translation) "Wir streiken"

And google for images

[chooka]

So what has germany got to do with the story?

I think, it was a picture needed, with toilets! 'Germany' had some.

Question is, someone browsed the web and ....., or an picture agency sold it.
