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.-- phundug, Jun 04 2007 Hah! A (+) from me, because I suffer the same aversion. And I like the idea of a fancy technology applied to a public toilet.-- awesomest, Jun 04 2007 [+] for hypercolor toilet seats.-- bleh, Jun 04 2007 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.-- phundug, Jun 04 2007 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). [+]-- nuclear hobo, Jun 04 2007 random, halfbakery
