I used to believe our toilet was really a spaceship. I would put the lid down and sit on it backwards facing the cistern. The cistern had a red button (with the manufacturers name on) and this was the control panel which I would set before takeoff. I would then count down 5-4-3-2-1-ignition! and pull the flush handle. This bit was very scary as the toilet sounded like a rocket engine underneath me and I really thought it might blow up if there was an accident.
Having survived the mission I would stand up and go outside for a look round. The new planet always looked strangely similar to Earth but this never put me off.
