Self Cleaning Toilets

Okay.

I am doing the usual Saturday routine - laundry, sweeping, mopping, etc.

But when it comes time to clean the toilets, I cannot imagine why the creative engineers that brought us the self cleaning oven have managed to skip the most nasty room and job in the world.

We can send men to the moon and to platforms high in space for scientific research, but we lack the scientific skill to make a self cleaning bathroom? Does anybody else see the problem here?

Anyone who has males in the household can share in the odious task required to clean the toilet. They don't mean to miss. They are always sorry. But it does nothing to make the receptical of waste look or smell any better.

And for the record, installing new toilet paper is a task that the women at MENSA are STILL having to perform for the hapless males who, though they know the secrets of quantum physics, lack the simple mechanical ability to slap another roll in place.

All I am asking for is a self cleaning cycle that will turn the bathroom into a crystaline palace of beauty and wonder. No muss, no fuss and most definately no hand into the icky toilet bowl for even a fraction of a second.

Where is science when you need it? How can this portal of disease and filth have escaped their notice and willingness to make the necessary changes to ease the burdens on the people of the world?

We can nuke other nations and then help them tidy up both their nation and their economy but we can't clean the john? Where are our priorities?

Oh, it's a dream. Somewhere in the world is a bathroom that is always clean. An endless roll of t.p. exists and there is never a hard water ring in the toilet bowl.

Whomever reads this with a scientific bent and a willingness to help all of man and woman kind, it's time to make the bathroom as easy to clean as the oven, but without the ash to wipe up at the end.
