Old Castle Toilet Powered by Gravity!
Who says folks 500 years ago weren't romantic? Look at this fine double-seated
toilet for the king and queen who both needed to sit on the throne together.
Owing to Sir Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, this pipeless privy carried waste down a special poop chute built intentionally into the castle's 11 foot thick wall. And don't go looking for the loo roll (that's "TP" in American English)...they used moss brought in from outside.
