After the hick-ups it has experienced after it was installed in the orbital lab, the toilet aboard the International Space Station is about to undergo serious testing over the next two weeks, as more than three times the usual number of astronauts will be using it regularly. These tests are critical, because, come Ma... |

You can search for toilets based on your current location, or an address anywhere in the world. Simply pick a favorite (if you have time for that) ... |

The only toilet on board the International Space Station allegedly broke last week while in use, when the motor fan suddenly stopped, leaving astronauts with no other option than to use the toilet on board the Soyuz-TMA-12 capsule. The problem is that this particular toilet has limited capacity. Luckily, rescue is at... |

No, don't be alarmed. This is not another Will Smith / Tom Cruise article, since I know you must all be pretty bored with all the gay jokes and rumors surrounding these two (each of them separately and then both put together). No, no, no. I mean, we have to grow up already. Be mature. Learn to respect Will and T... |

There are researchers who calculated how much time we spend on the toilet: months or even years. But "Mr Toilet", Sim Jae-duck, a South Korean National Assembly representative, has chosen to spend his life in one. Located in Suwon, 40 km (25 mi) from Seoul, there is the world's first "Toilet House", named "Haewo... |

Your flushing toilet makes you almost unaware of the fact that your body produces dejections that must be drained somewhere else. But in the overcrowded and largely undeveloped India, 700 million Indians do not know what a flushing toilet is. A combination of under development and abject caste system condemns about 8... |

Amy Wino has got to be Britain's top freak at the moment. The talented but deeply troubled singer, who is famous for her drug and booze addiction, managed to pull another stunt that stunned - not to mention shocked - all those around her. No, don't worry, she hasn't overdosed - yet, and if she had done... |

You cannot imagine all the stunts and acrobatic postures a woman can 'adopt' when using a public toilet, in order to avoid the seat. Of course, there's also the solution of covering in piles of toilet paper the filthy, germ-filled ring of horror. The solution is here: Urinelle, a handy, disposable, ste... |

What in the world could be more comfortable that the flushing toilet? Still, some researchers fear that this will trigger an environmental disaster in the western world. More ecological toilets, like the "squat toilet" in which one squats over a hole dug in the ground, are common in parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, ... |

Astronauts will really have something to smile about. Believe it or not, nature's calls can't be ignored in space, so that's why the latest space toilet project will cost around $19 million. While normally you don't see or hear much on the news about physiological needs in space, the question of ... |

Astronauts are humans after all... so, no matter how great their achievements are, they are still bound by nature's "smelly" laws. You don't hear, nor see, anything about it on the news, when they successfully take off or land, but physical limitations are of great concern for NASA. The famous question was... |

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-r... |

Inax's Statis Asteo washlet doesn't offer more than Toto and Brondel have to offer. OK, maybe music is important, but no one is probably going to check the music player specs when getting to choose the "safest" toilet. I'm still going to talk about the specs though. Inax's latest release, the Stat... |

Toto, the Japanese toilet manufacturer, is taking the portable toilets concept to the very edge of hi-tech hygiene (to the woods that is!). They came out with a portable device that is going to help you clean your behind even if you're forced to take a dump (sorry) in the worst places. This is actually a follow-... |
