When i was little i used to think that aliens controlled the toilet. If the lid was down, i'd have to enter a long, complicated code into the toilet by punching invisible digits on the lid before I could use the restroom.

And that to my young mind would have been the ultimate embarassment--to die on the crapper, just like elvis
