It's a toilet, reinvented!
When you flush the toilet, water raises above the fountain-shaped tank and whith a gracious versallesque splish-splash watch your poopie go down the drain.
The fountain might be shaped in the form of various famous and plushee fountais... Trevi, Villa Aldobrandini, Even the bold Louvre fountain by IM Pei nonetheless!-- noyola, Jul 09 2003 Or a plaque requesting that the user step away from the toilet before flushing?-- Worldgineer, Jul 09 2003 Those obliging to a 'courtesy flush' in a public place are hearby warned.-- Cedar Park, Jul 10 2003 //When you flush the toilet, water raises above the fountain-shaped tank //
Uh huh! And everything else in the bowl. erk..-- squeak, Jul 10 2003 Kitschy?-- phoenix, Jul 10 2003 Someone else already noted here the amout of fecal particles ejected into the air by regular flushes. This will simply up the volume. Ugh.-- DrCurry, Jul 10 2003 Baked. The toilets in my office already do this.-- phundug, Jul 10 2003 I've not been scuba diving, so I can't confirm this, but I suspect that it's a *bad* idea to go #2 while wearing a wet suit...-- DrCurry, Jul 10 2003 random, halfbakery
