In order to broaden the function of toilet paper, I think it would be a good thing to build in indicator-paper, and be able to check the pH-factor (of course first we should know the normal pH-factor).
So after using the toiletpaper, check the color (of the paper!) and see if you need to eat more vitamins, or, in the worst case, need to go to the doc.-- BartJan, Jun 26 2001 Why stop there? http://www.halfbake...dea/doctor_20toilet [angel, Jun 26 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004] You're right Mephista, so therefore the update.. thnx-- BartJan, Jun 26 2001 Why not the toilet water instead ? Just in case you don't want pH detector chemicals in your arse. I'm imagining traces of healthy bright-red (or whatever) pH dye leaching onto one's underwear. Mmm, nice colourful patch wherever you sit.
