    [​IMG] It takes me about 10 minutes to do what we do when we sit there, so most of the time I read labels from medicines and shampoo and sometimes I take the time to think about things like this:

    - Why sun lighten hair but it gets the skin dark?
    - Why women can’t paint their eyebrow with the mouth shut?
    - Why we never see in the newspapers a headline like this: “Fortune-teller wins the lottery”?
    - Why lemon juice is made of artificial lemon while the washing-up liquid is made of natural lemon?
    - When a new dog food with a “better taste” comes up, who taste it?
    - Why apartments are called like that when they are all together? (is Spanish apart means “not together”)

    Have you ever think things like this?

    10 minutes? Do you save them up for a few days before dropping the bomb or what?

    I usually sit, look down, and wonder why God blessed me with such a massive penis. Other than that, I'm concentrating on performing the operation quickly and easily and with maximum smell factor.

    Funny post by the way.

    I have a friend who takes about 30 minutes, he goes one time p/day, like me, but he usually reads a book or some such.
    I don't know why but since one time I started to read a toothpaste label, "things" takes about 10 minutes to fall down exactly even if I don't read anything.

    As discussed in a similar post a while back, I always read a book in the loo. It's one of the few times I get a bit of peace and quiet.

    Why do chicken flavoured chips taste nothing like chicken?

    Well, it takes me about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how much time I have to waste...but usually I just sit and relax and let nature take it's course.

    Listening to nothing but the whirl of the exaust fan can be relaxing in times of stress. :jawdrop: :rolling:

    I don't think at all. I try to spend as little time on the toilet as possible. Are you guys eating enough fruit? If you're taking 10 minutes on the toilet then something is seriously wrong.

    Its a nice way to get peace and quiet. I either read books or play the DS (usually after having hot Indian food).

    For public toilets, I am as quick as I can.

    By the way do you find it disturbing when someone is using the toilet and they are talking on their mobile phone to their friend?

    Because they are divided apart from each other.

    I've had something on the other ones as well somewhere, so I might add in the future. However, the list most likely comes from one of the 'conundrum' lists in the internet. One thing that still has me puzzled is:
    If nothing sticks to Teflon, how do they make it stick to the pan?
    Teflon (polymer CF2) has an extreme surface tension. Nothing should stick to it, including food, regardless of how wet, or glue, regardless of its contents. Taking this into account, nothing should stick to Teflon, including the frying pan. You should actually be able to turn the pan upside down, and have the Teflon fall out of it. Any thoughts on this one?

    [​IMG] If you meant "What is the fastest way to get it out of there?" I'd say coffee & cigarettes. :p

    Well, the topic wasn't dedicated to the "toilet thing" insitu; today while I was watching tv I saw in the furniture a thin layer of dust on them and I asked myself where the heck it came from because 2 days ago me and my girfriend cleaned everything, windows are always closed (because we ain't here almost all day and it's cold); that made me wonders how dust and other particles get inside my computer, which has a fan inside that sopposedly blows the air from within...

    By the way, very funny posts here.

    I played my guitar on the toilet once. Great natural reverb and echo. It was almost like playing in a church. Almost.

    That's really disgusting, and I could see "if you eat your dinner on the toilet...you might be a redneck" as a joke in Jeff Foxworthy's lineup.

    This made me laugh out loud this morning, and this thread seems an appropriate place to put it. :roll:

    I always have a book or magazine near the toilet, but most of the time I'm fast enough to not have time to find my place. Either that, or I'm getting barraged with my son's continual narrative, and can't even think straight...

    As for eating in the toilet, ewww. That's a line that I always have ready, should someone take offense to me breastfeeding the baby in public and suggest that I do it in the bathroom.
