    The Washlet — http://cleanishappy.com/

    Although I have no intention of ever purchasing a Washlet, I have made more than one visit to this website over the past few days.  A friend of mine pointed me to it.  If you view the site, be sure to view with sound.

    The Washlet website is beautifully designed.  In going to the site you will find that there are six artificially intelligent personalities to supply informational testimonials on the merits this new toilet technology.  The characters are contstantly in motion as if they are living on your computer screen in an anxiously happy state…Their one purpose in life?… to give you the good news about the Washlet.  I have developed a crush on the gal second from the left.

    The guy third from left takes me laugh, and laugh…and laugh.  Oh lordy… starving actors.

    The Washlet is a toilet straight out of the 23rd century, and apparently they are already very common in Japan…go figure. 

    My brother Luke made a funny comment: “i know they’ve tested this on a the affluent and well groomed japenese.  have they tested it on lazy, chilli eating, 300 pound americans?” Perhaps Luke’s Washlet will need a trip to the Monster Garage.

    Science Fact October 9, 2007

    Head on a beer commonly thought to be a sign of one’s pouring prowess is actually an indication of how dirty the glass is.  A glass with more bacteria on it will produce more head (carbon dioxide) as the bacteria react with the beer and produce little bubbles of carbon dioxide.Â
