It's not a strength issue, they would need opposable thumbs or possibly suckers to pull open the flap. Damn, it's not octopus proof, but then, what is? |

"Don't be scared of the grown-ups' toilet. The only things that could possibly crawl out and drag you into the sewers are octopuses, giant leeches, and that "stretch" guy out of the X-Files we show you before bedtime". |

[marked-for-tagline]* it's not octopus proof, but then, what is? |
|
|
*Is it ok to nominate your own comment? |
|
|
I think this would block the toilet. |
|
|
You could go for the more expensive option of having something like a waste disposal unit in the pipe, which would also allow you to have a smaller outgoing pipe. |

And there's the 'Flukeman', of course. |
|
|
//Tooms// That's the one. If I recall, he was foiled by a simple child safety latch on the toilet lid. Which was odd, since he could undo screws from the wrong end. |

And the Dragon of Unhappiness ... |

[mouseposture] If octopus remains were found inside them they are clearly not octopus proof. |
|
|
Oops, sorry, my mistake. Octopus proof is the
special 103% absolute pharmaceutical grade ethanol
available to licensed octopus wranglers. |

(And anyway, topologically, the lumen of the gut is
outside, not inside. So there.) |
|
|
// the lumen of the gut is outside // |
|
|
I've drunk some stuff that made me feel my guts were headed for the outside, but isn't' "lumen" a unit of light? Is this "octopus proof" stuff making your innards glow after you heave them up? |
|
|
Ask [bungston], he's the one who's into all that weird shit. |
|
|
'Lumen' means both 'opening' and 'light'. The inside of any tubular structure is called the lumen in biology. |
|
|
//isn't' "lumen" a unit of light? // It has two
meanings: 1)the SI unit of luminous flux, and 2) the
central cavity of a tubular or other hollow structure
in an organ |

Convenient for people of whom it's said "They think
the sun shines out of their arse." |
