The Canadian results are in!
Key Quote: Crane has a VIP Flush that moves 725 grams, but a change in the bowl from another model moves it down to 350 grams. One Eljer Patriot flushes 425 grams, another 150. One American Standard Cadet moves 750 grams, but two others flush 125 and 150 grams.

"A prodigious load both for toilet and user"
I have to figure out a way to work this into a conversation.

750 gms = 1 lb 12 oz. rough(age)ly.
So 'VIP' flush must stand for Very Impacted Person.

Glad to help, rufus. My daughter is a devout (and annoying) vegetarian. So, in my passive-aggressive way, the comment was aimed at her. Really passive-aggressive, since she doesn't read this blog.

Wonder what that says about me?

... they are undone by the enormity of the task ...
Is that another way of saying, "It was too big a job ..." ???
250 grams is average for adult male ... deposits ...
So, using Doug and Bob McKenzie's metric/English conversion formula -- in reverse -- we find:
250 minus 30 = 220 divided by 2 = 110 ... ounces of "byproduct" ...
that's ... six pounds, 14 ounces, tuppence!!!
Now that's overloading !!!

Is there any truth to the rumor the testing headquarters served bean curd for lunch that day?
Posted by: Dartful Codger | April 27, 2005 at 05:57 PM
I got one of those golfball flushing toilets about a year ago and I'm pleased to report that I haven't had a single golfball related plug up since.

OK, Dave, I think a Mansfield Quantum should be on your shopping list.
