Liquid Crystal Toilet Seat

I hate when I sit on a public toilet seat and it's warm. (indicating that someone else has just gotten up from it a moment ago.)

If toilet seats had a small section of clear plastic underlaid with liquid crystal, then you could tell from the color whether the seat had cooled back down to below body temperature.

       Hah! A (+) from me, because I suffer the same aversion. And I like the idea of a fancy technology applied to a public toilet.

       This isn't fancy technology. When I was a kid I had a liquid crystal disk from a museum gift shop for 99¢, that turned black, brown, green, and blue, in order of hotness, when you handled it. It changed quickly.

       Horrible idea, only good for driving the porcelain bus.   

       As to [hyperordered crystalline carbon] toilet seats: The ultimate in bling! I'll bun that (both figuratively and literally). [+]
