There is a fair amount of controversy about whether Thomas Crapper actually is the inventor of the commode or not and evidence that some form of it existed as far back as the Babylonians. In any case, a monument is warranted, even it has to be for “The Unknown Inventor”.
I feel strongly about this, having been subjected to an outhouse in east Texas in my youth. There were spiders down there!!
In the winter it was real cold also.
