When released into the wilds of the toilet, do your whiskers swim upstream?

My electric razor stores the hair inside it, then you take the top off and bump it a bit so all the hair falls into the trashcan, which has a bag in it. It also came with a small brush that I can use to brush out the rest of it.

In other words, I wouldn't know

"When I'm done I take a big wad of toilet paper and wipe the hair on the floor into a small pile and pick it up - you can do a pretty good cleanup with the T.P. - I put the TP and the clippings in the bathroom waste basket. I then grab another wad of TP and wipe all of the hair on the counter into the sink and scrape the sink clippings into a pile and use TP to wipe out the sink and place the clippings in the trash. "

So is it TP that makes us civilised, or still the toilet?

is this the kinda... what came first? the egg or the chicken?

I think it may be related to phenomenon of a "meniscus" in chemistry (look it up on Google).

Some sort of capilliary action??? And/or some fluid dynamics going on that aren't clearly visible to the naked eye....

Solution - get a new Crapper!

stop eating that hot chili peppers sauce with anything, and try to reduce tabasco in your coffee.

Well, this thread's days (umm, minutes) would appear to be numbered. Glad to have gotten a few laughs, apologies to those who were put off by it, and yes, this really happens, I am not making this up!

The meniscus doesn't go up that much. He's talking about an inch or so, while the meniscus climbs up something like 1/16".

I got a great toilet website... well, its a poo website.. i cant post it here... pm me if you must see it.

OK the scientific explaination:-

If you could put one of the clipped hairs under a microscope while the phenomena takes place, you will see it looking fearfully at the S-Bend. You will then see it paddling like crazy in the opposite direction.
