The World's Fastest Toilet: "Jet-propelled, Holly Smoke!"

Bathtubs on 4 wheels are mentioned often on monkey media reports. Hundreds of "tubbers" are taking part every year in good, clean, fun bathtub racing events. Well, don't be baffled if in a year or two you'll see "extreme-sports" fans participating in a down and dirty
toilet race.

This toilet can take bath-related-vehicles racing to another level. It may be the irresistible challenge you've been expecting for. This is not an ordinary toilet, it's actually a toilet that spits fire. Paul Sender, a mechanic from the US, spent 10000$ to create this unique toilet. The "bomb" is powered by a Boing jet engine and can reach speeds of up to Mach 3 (now, that's a lie). The toilet is purported to reach speeds of more than 70mph after it shoots out 30 ft long fire balls Therefore it's the world's fastest toilet. On second thought, toilets onboard of aeroplanes are much faster.

There are a few problems though. There's no way you can't steer this baby, so stop thinking about the high center of gravity issue or about how you are supposed to take a turn. Needless to say, you can't even see where you're heading to. Here's what I wonder: why do the flames come out of the vents stack? Although it's not made to take you safely from point A to point B, it seems a cool way to get a down-and-dirty adrenalin rush. Just make sure to wear a helmet and some fire-proof clothes.

Now, if it were to be a functional toilet powered by gas (yes, that kind of gas), it could probably turn up as a solution to the global warming scare.
