When I saw this article I immediately thought of this thread.
New toilet technology after 150 years of waste
The United Nations estimates disease caused by unsafe sanitation results in about half the hospitalizations in the developing world. About 1.5 million children die each year from diarrheal disease.
Scientists believe most of these deaths could be prevented with proper sanitation, along with safe drinking water and improved hygiene.

Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.

I can't wait for my water heater to be connected and have its own Twitter feed so it can tweet the water temperature. I just hope it doesn't go crazy and post naked pictures of me while I'm showering.
Water heaters have no interest in posting naked pictures of humans. That's not what turns them on. Instead, it will post pictures of your shower when you are not in it. To a water heater, that's a naked shower, and that's what gets them going. You can tell this is true, too: Consider that the water cools off if you are in the shower long enough. That means that the water in the tank is hottest when the shower isn't being used.

Yeah, but also, using up the hot water is what will get the heater 'turned on' by its thermostat.
Gad! You live in a total appliance orgy! How do you sleep at night? Aren't your pipes banging?

You should see my stove. It burns with a fiery passion. And my iron gets so hot that it shoots steam out of its holes. But my water cooler seems to have a split personality. It serves cold and hot water.
Your water system has gone plumb crazy.
In my case, my sink is a geological phenomenon. Seriously. For the last several years, there have been occasional times when I have heard odd, high pitched, pinging sounds that I haven't been able to track down. Eventually, I end up in the bathroom and find shards of enamel scattered around the sink. The force of the explosions are fairly impressive, as shards have been thrown a couple feet, at least. This went on for a year or two, then went dormant for well over a year, until last week, when a series of minor eruptions scattered shards all over the sink, though none of the shards made it very far.
So you may have erotic appliances with more tension than an afternoon soap opera, but I have an exploding sink. It's all good fun.

C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

I don't have a water tank and instead have "on demand" hot water. Does that make my boiler a bit of a slut?
I'm also tempted to make a joke about my shower giving good head but that would indicate that my minds in the gutter. On the flip side it would leave me laughing like a drain.
