Miso-Filled Condoms and Poo

Hmm... my Facebook news feed is telling me that nobody apparently made any posts overnight. That is VERY hard to believe, hahaha. Auntie Catherine added me to Facebook, too - interesting! Did some stuff with Wordpress last night - I'll see what happens with this Blogger 10-label limit thing. Problematic, for sure! Weighed the relative merits of taking a shower now as opposed to tonight (rush, seeing people, family, etc.) - now won out. ;)

Poo nugget for this weekend: Miso-Filled Condoms and Poo - Low-flow toilets became required by U.S. law in 1994, but many Americans didn't like them, going so far as to smuggle higher-volume toilets in from Canada. Their complaint was that it took several flushes to get things down. This provoked engineer Bill Gauley of Veritec Consulting to develop a test for toilet effectiveness. But what material should the testers flush? After several experiments, the team settled on miso paste encased in a condom-like membrane. Gauley's Maximum Performance (MaP) test has since become industry standard.
