Factoid Friday
Psycho was the first film to show a toilet flushing.
I didn't know that one. It says that a bunch of reports of this being reported as indecent were filed. Where have those days gone? I think it was the television show "Leave it to Beaver" was the first television show to even show a toilet.
The time that the most toilets are flushed is the half time during the Super Bowl.
This just makes me think that too many people are way too serious about football. Of course, I don't understand it at all. Lately, I've even been fairly disappointed with the commercials during the Super Bowl!
On average, a person spends a total of three years sitting on the toilet.
Three years? Well, I think it's a good thing because I wouldn't want a back up of three years! I never really want any of that! I forget how many years are spent sitting at red lights. It might be two years. At least people can always do a bit of multitasking, I guess?
On October 25, 1760, King George the II died after he fell of the toilet.
I don't know if the video game Blazing Dragons is basing the fact of him always going to to the bathroom of facts, but even with this one small fact, I can see why they would end up making such silly claims in a game.
An average of seven million cell phones are dropped in toilets each year.
I've heard stories of cell phones being dropped in toilets. I understand if you have your cell phone in your room and the first thing that you do in the morning is unplug it and take it into the bathroom when you start getting ready in the morning. However, other than that, I don't understand. You'd think people would learn, especially those people that sit in public bathroom stalls and talk on the cell phone, which drives you crazy because you then think they are talking to you and you try to respond and they keep going on with their conversation!

Post a CommentInteresting toilet trivia, but did they even have them in 1760?
I always look forward to these articles.
Fun facts!
wow is right, oops I think I gotta go....
LOL. Very funny!
hilarious and engaging topic for trivia. You get five plus stars for thinking of it :). I think with the cell phones dropping in toliet could be less people talking on them and dropping and more people keeping the phone in their back pocket. I know I managed to drop my wallet into a toliet once when I was in haste and had it in a back pocket. Not trying to freak people out--but it happens.
Good one!
Like it!
Wow, three years just gone because of the toilet. I do believe it, lol... :o)
Very interest. My great-grandma died on a toilet. It was one of those antique ones that looked like a small thick table with a ceramic pot in it. She was a very heavy lady and they said she died while sitting on it.
