I actually had a friend in high school... pretty girl in fact... who's last name was "Crapper". Her great (maybe two greats) grandfather was Thomas Crapper who invented the flush toilet for Queen Victoria. Thomas's brother John invented the "field toilet" for the British army.
No shit.

Sounds like a whole pile of shite, John! 
I'm sure you're much too reserved to tell us about bathroom PW sessions, eh John.
Personally, I think the bathroom is the best place in the world for good thinking and reading. I know this is, again, too much information, but it's my favorite room in the house.

Glad you guys got together, mom! John's like the Corner "hub." He got to meet Peter (PB02) when he visited from oz, and he knows a bunch of the folks in the bay area...
I was j/k anyway. I have learned that John has his facts straight!
Truth be told, I'd heard that the toilet was invented by a guy named "Crapper," but I'd always figured that was urban legend / joke. If Mr. Crapper were my relative, I'm not too sure how willing I'd be to divulge that info
... 
p.s./ By the way, mom, you can call me Charlie!
