Spotted off Drudge: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_1433000/1433904.stm Yes, sir, I sure want my toilet to decide that I need more roughage. The page describes a toilet with automated stool and urine analysis, which communicates over the net to a doctor or even a grocery store. Not much of a stretch to envision a remotely upgradeable system that can be instructed to run drug screens or collect DNA. Sure glad this is just a prototype. -- Roy M.
