i've been trying to not reply to this thread because what i have to say
isn't important, only, what you all keep talking about keeps reminding me of
a trivial incident from my past. i thought this thread would've died
already.

The thread hasn't drifted into political name - calling yet.
We may have weeks to go.

1986, backpacking around china, was in beijing. saw a western style
restaurant ("Maxim's") and went in to use their bathroom. the plumber who
had plumbed the place had hooked a hot water line to the toilet, the flapper
valve leaked and so hot water was constantly dribbling into the bowl, the
water in the bowl was constantly being refreshed with HOT water. was
"restaurant temperature" water, steam was wafting out of the bowl. was
uncomfortable to sit on the toilet. i'd never seen that before or since,
where someone accidentally plumbed the hot water line to a toilet, *and left
it that way*. the entire toilet was scalding hot. something i'll never
forget, was funny and weird.

That is wild. Bet it saved on cleaning.
