A rare 12th-century triple toilet seat will be going on display at a London museum later this year… link |

No doubt made by Thomas Crapper and Sons. |

Looks like the ones we used in basic training. I think the Germanic tribes had those, called them the poopenhousensquatin, but I could be wrong. Useful when you've gone beyond doing number one and number two. Thank you, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress. |

The 'rare' part really only applies to the fact it is 12th Century. Plenty of multi-user seats in museums and collections all over the place, from at least the Romans thru the early 20th Century in the US and other places. |

Bet there were still arguments back then about whether the leaves should go over or under on the roll… :-p |

I spent some time in a barracks that had those. |
