You guys know that I’m all about news.
You guys also know that I’m all about bathrooms.
Today, I am about bathroom news. Eat your heart out, Fox News!
Today, I am, well, not proud to tell you about this, exactly. Not pleased to tell you about it, exactly, either.
Today I am ummm, well, I’m just gonna tell you that technology has gone straight to the crapper.
Because there is now a gizmo that will tell you when you have to go to the bathroom. In case you didn’t know.
I’m so ashamed that I’ve been doing it the old fashioned way for all this time.
I think I want the display piece – something to hang on the wall in the bathroom !

Do you see your Looncup as half empty, or half full?

My loon cup is currently running over. Or a muck. Or amok. Or something messy.

Does it work when nature sneaks up on you? Can I have a good window of time to find a bathroom without naturally navigating from bathroom to bathroom? I expect it would be very useful for incontinent people who don’t know. Much easier than cleaning up. Thanks for the poop scoop!

Slightly off topic: Rumor is that that Reuters logo was designed by a Reuters graphic designer whose work was about to be outsourced. It is said to be the company going down the drain.

That’s pretty funny … I’m a big fan of Reuters. They get all the medical poop first, it seems.

Does it tell the difference between solid and just gass? Cause that might be helpful!
“Attn, air my be expelled, safely. ”
“Attn, solids arriving do not push, unless on toilet.”

I prefer the pull-ups they have for kids, because you get to see the cool cartoon characters when they’re wet!

Wouldn’t it be easier (and cheaper) to just wear adult diapers?
But if you’re going to use the Smart Pants, I think it should have a audio warning system –
“10 minutes to go.”
“Start looking for a rest room, and don’t be too fussy.”
“Start running NOW”
“EVERYONE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA – CLEAR OUT NOW!”

When you click on the play on the center it won’t let yopu view BUT down inthe bottom right corner a number of symbols appear – one of them is marked “YouTube”. Mouse over and click on that and the video will open in a new window and play in YouTube format. If that doesn’t work, then the YouTube address is:
