There is an emergency manual button in the back, or so said the review.

A while ago someone was selling a kit to let you turn your living room into the bridge of the Enterprise. This would make a perfect captain’s chair/throne.

Can you imagine how insufferable hanging out at your friend’s house would be if he’d bought one?

“Does anyone need to use the bathroom? Seriously - you should use the bathroom. Anyone? No? Can I get anyone a Coors Light? OK, does anyone want me to go get us some Taco Bell?”

Oh, and I’m pretty sure my first order of business would be to engage the bidet remotely while someone was sitting on it.

Hell with that - all my friends would be in there examining the thing.  
Back in 1980 I went to a conference in Austria, and the site had a bathroom with an electric eye operated urinal. All the well known computer architects went in there to play with it. And the cool bathroom in the Madonna in in San Luis Obisbo has been mentioned several times around here.

I about died laughing - it took ages for me to figure out what on earth the cube was, and then, I mean… well, [look at it.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFRC37si8xw) Forget the toilet, let’s buy curtains for the bathroom first, shall we?

What happens when you lose the remote?

Because that’s what would happen in our house.

For that price, it should be called the Roombutt, automatically sense when I need to pee\*, travel to wherever I am in the house, gently lift me up, pull down my pants, and set me on top of it.

\*or vomit
