Just for the record, by "more" I mean further in retrospect as in it is more retrospective than the previous, but I suppose it would also be applicable to mean in addition to. Either way. You choose.
So I had this thought. Okay, so when toilets were originally created, they were just a bowl made of any number of materials (I'm assuming, I haven't done my research on the history of toilets). But, as time progressed someone determined that it would be more comfortable if there was an actual seat to sit on. Enter the invention of the Toilet Seat. So who knows how long ago that was? I'm sure someone does, besides, someone's livelihood depends, or depended, on that, whatever the case may be. Anyway, so my question a few weeks ago (hence, retrospective) is that if it has been determined that toilet bowls are more comfortable when they have a seat on them and if generally speaking, all toilets have a seat on them now, why not just make the seat part of the original construction? Why the need for two separate parts? Would it not be more efficient to make one structure instead of making two parts and having to put them together?
Less retrospective:
So when I was talking about this last night like a flash I found the answer. With one structure, guys would not be able to lift the seat when they use the toilet (although some guys can't seem to lift the seat even when it is a separate part...but that's a whole different issue...). Therefore, if the toilet came in one piece (bowl + seat) cleaning and maintenance would be much more tedious. Rather, the separation of the pieces allows control for the cleanliness of the seat. In addition, the ability to purchase a seat separately from a bowl allows an individual to pick whatever kind of seat he or she would like based on color, size, fit or comfort. I mean, I have even seen a glow-in-the-dark toilet seat. Seriously...Google "Glow in the dark toilet seat" sometime, you would be amazed...or maybe not, I don't know. I do think it would be a great idea for kids though, although you would have to leave the light on throughout the day to "charge" it to glow at night and that just wouldn't be economical. I suppose people with glow-in-the-dark seats have these discussions with themselves...or maybe not, I don't know!
Anyway - so there you go, that's it. The reason (according to me) for a separate toilet seat and bowl.
Things I learned:
1. I appreciate having a separate seat from the toilet bowl.
2. I appreciate people who lift the seat when they should.
3. Sometimes critics and skeptics can become the greatest advocates.
How's that for blogging?

Ok so I think such random things I choose not to blog for several reasons. In the sake of time we shall pick a few 1. I could be carted off to jail for many of my thoughts 2. In my effort to keep it unpersonal it often results in deep personal upheaval. 3. I have severe ADHD so I would blog once and that would be it.. (I have tried, opened 5 different blogs all with one entry) and 4. Lastly, I kind of enjoy the fact that I have such great ideas and only I know about them.. Makes me smile and laugh to myself (This is usually when people look at me like im insane). Either way, I love that you have the gusto to do so, we are such alike and I will subscribe and often attempt to hijack your threads, dont take it personal. :)
Hopefully "we" can help keep the threads on target if they stray (lol) ...
thats what family is for (and you thought it was friends, HAH!!)
