    Necessity is often the mother of invention, so they say. Perhaps the biggest revolution in this line of business since the late Thomas Crapper in the 1880's (by royal warrant).

    Actually, jesting apart. Seems a good thing for the future and particularly in the developing world in terms of water conservation and health.

    Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
    "About 2.5 billion people use unsafe toilets or defecate in the open. Poor sanitation causes severe diarrhea, which kills 1.5 million children each year. Smart investments in sanitation can reduce disease, increase family incomes, keep girls in school, help preserve the environment, and enhance human dignity. "
