His fidgety ticks overpower his message....

Germans are big self-haters, that's why. They carry around a shitload (hehe) of guilt. I'm totally cereal.

"This guy" being Slavoj Žižek, I find it hard to listen to him for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Wait... there are TWO books that talk about it? You'd think the second guy would have stopped writing after the first one published.

Two words: No Backsplash!

Everyone poops.

Here we have the first kind (the one where the poop falls directly into the hole with a bit of water). Pros: Definitely the least disgusting. Cons: Backsplash. Hacking Tip: a bit of toilet paper in the bottom of the bowl BEFORE taking a dump to prevent splash.

Yes, I just took a shit a couple of minutes ago. Does it show?

I was in Dusseldorf recently, I couldnt find any shelf type toilets! I really tried too

I dont know....did you wipe?

I've done the saliva trick before with students at one of my workshops in order to illustrate the point of the relative arbitrariness of our (human) collective tastes and preferences.

We're a strange species, to be say the least.

Better shit on a shelf than water on the sack.
Old German saying.

Really Trancecoat? a down-vote for that?
I wasn't trying to be mean, I honestly found it hard to concentrate on what he was saying due to his flamboyistic way that he caries himself. It could be his nervousness, it could be his not talking in his native language. But I think it's his way. He is a very excited person and gives the effect that he can't get his words out fast enough.

He needs to slow down and breath more and his message would come across in a more clear manor.

Shelf-toilets are weird. If I ever own an apartment (lol) I'll get a 'normal' one.
