The iPot

Trust The Daily Mail to feature a story on this little beauty. No, it's not really called an iPot; it's an iCarta (iFarta?). Remember in the good old days when you'd hit the head in a friend's house, and there would be a magazine rack in there next to the toilet brush? Those days may be gone forever, mes amis.

Well, move on over, magazine rack. Make way for the iPot! Okay, maybe not. The magazine rack could still sit on the floor below the iPot. Now you can read and listen to tunes while you take a whiz! Oh, joy!

The article talks about listening to tunes while you shower, assuming you can hear the darn thing over the running water and presumably closed shower door. A bubble bath makes more sense. Still, as a kid, I don't recall seeing magazine racks in any of the normal bathrooms in friends' parents' houses; they only ever appeared downstairs in the powder room (aka "half bath" in realtor-speak).

If you're taking a bath or shower in a room that contains basically a toilet, a mirror, and a vanity with a sink, you'd darn well better be the size of a hamster. Failing that, and you're in there that long for a different reason, I'd say reach for the Milk of Magnesia or Ex-Lax, and try again in a few hours.
