Back-seat toilet to end mishaps in traffic jams – Yahoo! News

October 24, 2007 By Al Martine

Blog title was automatically generated by the ‘Blog This’ plug-in for  Live Writer but what a great line.  New toilets in cars – yahhhooooooo! 

A few takes on this article.  First, it will hopefully lead to different technologies for different areas of our lives such as sleeping.  I’ve always wanted to have a little door around mid-level in the bed so I didn’t need to get up in the middle of the night.  Other options include in the living room for the big game, at your desk, those three hour lectures at school, or on a first date (no one likes to go on the first date).

Second, and this is the really exciting part, large wide-scale adoption of the auto-loo (my name by the way) would the the way road rage would evolve.  Someone cuts you off in traffic?  Screw flipping them off – bombs away!!!   Not just for road rage, general boredom would work too, like the daily commute home.  Stop and go (huh, huh) driving would never be the same.  Each traffic light would look like a giant brown food fight, which technically I think it still would be food.

And, long road trip practical jokes could achieve an entirely new level.  The scene: the family has just stopped for a quick stretch of the legs at a rest stop.  Hey sis, what ya eating? A: some of this chocolate pudding I found in the back seat… 

Wonder if they’ll sell an optional sling shot with them?
