Greg I was expecting it to not be connected to water and a sewage system but the buffalo tongue was a complete surprise. If I had suspected an animal to be in it, I would have bet on a cobra.

Judy Evans Luckily you spotted him before you sat down. Still, you mightn't have needed toilet paper with a big tongue doing the job.

Did I tell you about Nico’s toilet? The bowl itself is not all that special, but the room in which it is housed is cool on several levels. Nico lives on the island of Patmos. His house is on the edge of a cliff and so one of his...

Greg Palmos is my second favorite Greek Island. If I had known it had this grill walled toilet, it might have beat out Lesvos to be #1. (I tried using the English spelling of that island but MyLot rejected it as a bad word and refused to post it)

Did you know that that misogynistic old coger Dickens, yes, he of Oliver Twist fame, recommended the smoking of tobacco by way of a pipe as a cure for suicide? Van Gogh have the same advice to his younger brother Theo.

Judy Evans That's a new one on me. When we had the piano tuned when I was about 8, the tuner found a great heap of pipe stems in the bottom of it. They were supposed to keep the moths out.

Judy Evans We built a toilet on a bit of a cliff once when we were camping. We sat a seat affair over a hole and put the whole thing in a wool bale but there was no door. It does take a bit of getting used to.

Jo Ann I think insanity helps creativity. I don't know if Van Gogh took drugs or was an extraterrestrial but works like Starry Night are scenes straight from NASA space photos.

There truly is nothing that stays the same in life. Life changes, sometimes for the better and sometimes not. I think it's human nature to want most things to stay pretty much like they are. If those things are what make us happy...
