I would track evidence of member journals, I would add this under the "wtf" category.

I don't have a laptop, but I will occasionally read a magazine on the toilet.

i really need a waterproof "console" for my bathtub... i frequently prolong bathing because i can't escape from the interewebs.. =)

Taking a shit without reading is impossible. However I never bother to bring the laptop. Possibly because our wireless network sucks donkey balls

I prefer reading technical stuff. Or the photo magazine. Sometimes I even read programming books :)). How about you?

moocow reads pron obv...

gameboy is another fine dirversion whilst pooping if your interwebs is not available. i rarely ever take my phone to the crapper fsr..

Don't know why you guys take so long on the crapper. When I go to the loo, it's all business: Get in, shit, and get out as quick as possible!

I don't have a bathtub (or a laptop) but using a laptop in the bath sounds like it would be dangerous to both you and the laptop!

i put it on a table next to the bath and lean over... less than optimum conditions. would really liek one that's submersible! =)

@Penguinboy -- Old people have more trouble using the bathroom.

Oh no. I don't even have a laptop. But sitting on the toilet is a great moment for thinking. I've solved the most complicated logical puzzles and mathematical problems while in there.

dimbark: your mum has trouble with the bathroom

I read Einstein's Universe by Nigel Calder using only time spent shitting.
People look strangely at me as I walk out of the bathroom with a big picture of Einstein's face, which is the frontpage. Maybe it is porn, in a way.
Good book tho

Also I agree with Stu. You get great ideas while on the can. However, most of the time there is no paper and pen around to actually write it down. And once you are out again you've forgotten it D':

Whenever I'm taking a shit I bring a book, and if I'm taking a bath I put my 7" netbook under a pile of clothes [To shield it from any water], open gmail and just hit the refresh button every 2 minutes.

moocow! haha i bought that book(did NOT have einy's face on front tho) and tried to read it 3 times--some of that time on the crapper--, but i never got through the whole thing! Elegant Universe by Brian Greene however, was super-pimp. =)

crollo: awesome. maybe we just need an ipad with a plastic cover for our bathroom intermapping?

P

I don't even have a bathtu- i mean laptop

Wat Terror I've got The elegant universe as well! And I've never managed to get through it. It's in English and when I bough it my English was worse than it is now. I'll get trough it some day though. It's an interesting subject

ROFL! =)

lol I had the Elegant Universe as well! Also, I had Big Bang.

I'm with Penguinboy, there's not enough time to read a sufficient amount of anything while on the toilet and I don't take baths (only showers) and you surely couldn't take anything in there.

Nintendo DS to play Bomberman 2 (DS) or Kirby's Dream Land (Game Boy) and/or cell phone for reading news (The Register, Slashdot and BBC).

I'm with pengy. It takes me thirty seconds to shit. I couldn't read a haiku on the crapper. I guess everyone's different, and you know how the saying goes: everybody poops.

Lawl, i can't even formulate a wiping strategy in 30 seconds! A good poop session lasts 15-20 minutes easy. (you know it's a good one when your legs fall asleep)

It depends on the situation. If I'm about to explode, the lag between closing the bathroom door and crapping is about 1 second.

If I don't have the sensation but I just want to feel clean and light, I need some reading material.

Are we really discussing this? I love TWHL

I was just about to say the same thing.

This has to be the funniest conversation on TWHL.

This is just strange to me. The concept of crapping for so long, not discussing such. I second PB.

P.S. We know what Striker means by "photo magazine" ;P

Riiiiiight.

I usually bring PC Gamer, but since I read through it so fast I usually end up with some physics book.

Never take baths tho. Taking baths takes forever in the morning. Seems simpler and more efficient to just take a shower to me
