On this January 27th, let's be flush with national pride, in the memory of a true hero- Thomas Crapper.

They say a man's home is his castle. And what would any castle be without a throne?

Thomas Crapper helped improve and promote the modern flush toilet. Without his efforts, perhaps we'd all very likely, still be going outside to take dump. That's a hero worth remembering- especially in winter.

Salute, Thomas Crapper! Thank you for making the throne a permanent fixture in our homes!
