I kinda forgot how I ended up here, but you should check out some of the 3D renderings from X3 Studios. They’re pretty spectacular and if you click each example on that page, there’s a video that shows how they created the scene and how they came up with some of the still images.

Cats don’t care if you’re in the bathroom

The collective MeFi linked to this rather amusing and true comic from Idiot Comics about how cats always seem to come in to the toilet when you’re using it. All they care about is a back rub and they could care less if you were on the toilet.

But compare that with this comic of cats who really don’t care (look closely for the difference).

Quattro toilet flushing technology from St. Thomas Creations

March 8, 2009 @ 2:19 pm

This toilet from St. Thomas Creations features the new Quattro flushing technology that uses less water than a traditional 3.5-gallon model. The Quattro toilet shown here uses only 1.6 gallons of water per flush, and with its powerful direct-feed water jet, it can deliver incredibly flushing power so that you won’t have to flush multiple times when things get bad.

How does the Quattro solve toilet clogs? It has an extra large 3-inch flush valve that goes into a 2 1/8″ glazed trapway which, according to the company, “virtually eliminates clogging” altogether. That’s pretty impressive and I’m totally sold after watching the video above of various non-toilet items getting flushed successfully. I mean, shoot, if it can flush 18 large hot dogs without any problem, it pretty much proves that it can handle anything that comes out of my body.

Also, I totally see a new internet meme with this similar to what Blendtec has done with their “Will It Blend” videos.
St. Thomas Creations should start taking suggestions on what to flush down their toilets.

I agree with Clarence, the answer is definitely B.
