DreamWorks Travels Through Time Via a Portable Toilet

Just when you thought they had run out of time
traveling ideas, comes word that DreamWorks has picked up the sci-fi comedy spec script Gullible's
Travels, written by Open Season scribes Ron Friedman and Steve Bencich. While Marty and Doc used a DeLorian and Bill and Ted accessed the past through a magical phone booth, the main character in Gullible's Travels -- supposedly, the world's most gullible man -- will travel through time via a portable toilet. (Better make sure there's enough toilet paper, because I'm pretty positive there was none of that extra fluffy stuff back in 1868.)

A toilet is a plumbing fixture and disposal system primarily intended for the disposal of the bodily wastes: urine, fecal matter and vomit. Toilets additionally accept a paper product known as toilet paper. Other objects may cause blockages in the plumbing.

The word toilet can be used to refer to the fixture itself or the room containing it; the latter predominates mainly in British and Commonwealth usage. In North American English the word toilet refers solely to the fixture itself and not to the room that contains it, thus asking for the "toilet" would seem indecent. Instead, the euphemisms bathroom, rest room, washroom or men's room / women's room are preferred.

Outdoor public toilets (in the street, around parks, etc.) are a form of street furniture. For mixed sex arrangements, there are cubicles varying from simple devices with little or no plumbing to more luxurious versions that automatically clean themselves after every use (for the latter, see Sanisette). Facilities without walls all around are typically for urination only, and for men only; although passers-by can see the urinating men from the back, they cannot see the genitals. These street urinals are known as pissoirs after the French term.

Some facilities are mobile and can thus be put in place where and when needed, e.g., for a weekend at an entertainment venue. Additionally, some can be sunk into the ground (and thereby made inoperable) for the periods that they are less needed. The idea behind this is that some people do not like the sight of a public toilet in the street, and they are more easily hidden than repeatedly moved. This type is typically installed in entertainment areas and made operational during weekend evenings and nights. Even people who are too shy to use it at daytime, tend to overcome that shyness after drinking some alcohol.
Many public toilets use blue lighting, to prevent drug abuse by making it harder to locate the veins.

A Portable toilet is an outdoor public toilet with walls which can either be connected to the local sewage system or store the waste and be emptied from time to time. Many toilets can be cleaned on the spot, or at a central location in the case of a mobile toilet or urinal. In Europe, public toilets are also set up for cities as a compensation for advertising permits. They are part of a street furniture contract between the out-of-home advertising company and the city council. The reason for this combination is the shortage in city budgets.

Advanced technology is being integrated into toilets with more functions, especially in Japan - see Toilets in Japan. The biggest maker of these toilets is TOTO. Such toilets can cost from US$2,000 to $4,000. The features are operated by control pads (sometimes with bilingual labels), and even hand-held remote control devices. Some of these features are:

* Water jets, or "bottom washers" like a bidet, as an alternative to toilet paper
* The "Portable Washlet", Toto's portable hand-held bottom washer
* Blow dryers, to dry the body after use of water jets
* Artificial flush sounds, to mask noises such as body functions
* Urine and stool analysis, for medical monitoring. Matsushita's "Smart Toilet"    checks blood pressure, temperature, and blood sugar.
* Digital clock, to monitor time spent in the bathroom
* Automatic lid operation, to open and close the lid
* Heated seats
* Deodorizing fans
* Automated paper toilet seat cover replacers, automatically replaces paper    toilet seat covers with the push of a button.
