• Japanese National Railways wanted to save water by cutting down on the amount of water used per flush in the restrooms. But the tiny amount of water used in the flush led users to think the toilets weren’t working properly, and they would flush over and over. Officials subsequently installed an electronic device that broadcast the sound of huge amounts of water flushing so the toilet sounded normal, and the extra flushing ceased.

• It’s been estimated that one out of every four toilets leaks. One method of telling if your toilet leaks is to put a drop of food coloring in the tank and see if it shows up in the bowl over the course of about 20 minutes without flushing. If your toilet is leaking, replace the flappers and adjust the fill valves. If the toilet runs long after flushing, adjust the length of the chain attached to the float. Turn the page for more!

WORD ORIGINS

• The French word ‘toile’ means cloth or net. When the French began covering their dressing tables with cloth, the tablecloth was also called a toile, and the dressing room was called a toilette. When the first flushing potties were invented, they were located in the dressing rooms and became known as toilets.

Mon - Fri 6:00 - 4:30 pm Sat 6:00 - 3:00 pm
• The Dutch word ‘krappen’ meaning ‘to pluck or cut off’ and the French word ‘crappe’ meaning ‘siftings’ and the Latin word ‘crappa’ meaning ‘chaff’ are all related to the current word ‘crap.’ They all refer to the part that is thrown away after the part that is useful has been gathered.

• Thomas Crapper was a plumber in London in the mid-1800s. Contrary to myth, he did not invent the toilet, but he did improve it. He also improved the sewer systems of the city. The toilets he manufactured and installed, as well as the manhole covers he fabricated, were all stamped with his name: Crapper.

• The Latin word ‘lavare’ meaning ‘to wash’ is where we get the word ‘lavatory.’
701.330.5857
• On board ships, the original toilets were just a simple board with a hole cut out, which were hung over the front part of a ship where the waves would wash everything away. The front of the ship was called ‘the head.’ • In medieval times, chamber pots would be emptied out the window into the street below. The story goes that in France, they would call out, “Gardez l’eau!” meaning, “Watch out for the water!” in order to warn pedestrians before hurling the refuse into the street. In England, this was Anglicized to ‘gardy-loo’ before being shorted to simply ‘loo.’
www.facebook.com/bismarcktidbits
• The Middle English word ‘poupen’ or ‘popen’ originally meant ‘fart’ because that’s what a fart sounds like. Eventually it gave us the word ‘poop.’ This is not to be confused with the Middle French word ‘poupe’ meaning the stern of a ship, giving us ‘poop deck.’ BY THE NUMBERS

On December 19, 1973, Johnny Carson told what he thought was a joke. The public, however, believed him when he said, “There’s an acute shortage of toilet paper in the United States.” There was not a shortage before he made this statement, but once the consumers hit the stores after hearing his statement, they created a shortage. It took some stores up to three weeks to re-stock their shelves.

The 1960 movie “Psycho” was the first film to show a toilet being flushed, when Janet Leigh’s character flushes just before she takes a shower. The first toilet shown on TV was in a 1957 episode of “Leave It To Beaver” when Wally and Beaver hide a baby alligator they got through mailorder in the toilet tank. Special care was taken to show just the tank and not the seat.

• In the mid-1960s, the Indonesian rupiah was valued at 325 to the dollar. The cheap paper that was used to print one-sen notes (worth 1/100th of a rupiah) was perfect for being used as toilet paper, and was much less expensive than the commercially made tissue paper, since you could get 32,500 pieces for a buck. FACTS & FASCINATION • The combination of Sani-Flush toilet bowl cleaner and Comet cleanser can explode. Comet is sodium hypochlorite and Sani-Flush is sodium bisulfate.

First they needed to know how many Japanese men were there. They knew the Japanese army usually had one latrine for every 40 soldiers.

They decided to make toilets the theme of the restaurant. Called “The Outhouse,” toilet bowls were placed here and there in the decorating scheme, and menus featured a toilet bowl logo. Health inspectors suspended their license when it was found that their restroom facilities were inadequate.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:
THOMAS CRAPPER • Thomas Crapper, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1836, became an apprentice to his brother at the age of 14. His brother was a Master Plumber in London. • By 1861 Thomas had completed his training and set up his own plumbing shop. In that day and age, proper people didn’t speak about bathrooms or the things that happened in bathrooms. So Thomas Crapper caused quite a stir when he advertised his business by displaying, right in his front window and in full view of everyone passing by, the complete collection of bathroom fixtures he offered for sale. According to legend, ladies became faint when viewing the porcelain bowls in his showroom. • In order to overcome the prevailing attitude of prudery, Crapper outfitted his salesmen with tiny dollhouse-sized replicas of the toilets, sinks, and tubs he was selling. The customer was tasked with the chore of imagining how the full size fixtures would look in their house.

• This was also a day and age when it was thought that going to the bathroom indoors was unhygienic, a myth Thomas Crapper worked hard to dispel. • His business got quite a boost when Edward Prince of Wales hired Thomas to install 30 bathrooms in his newly purchased estate, Sandringham House. When Edward became king, more plumbing jobs were handed to Thomas Crapper, followed by more work commissioned by King George V. Eventually Crapper installed bathrooms and plumbing fixtures in Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. The public thought that any plumber good enough for royalty was good enough for them, and Crapper’s business boomed. Continued on the next page!

QUOTE
“It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.” -Rod Serling
by Samantha Weaver • It was 19th-century French poet and philosopher Henri-Frederic Amiel who made the following sage observation: “Truth is violated by falsehood, but it is outraged by silence.” • You might be surprised to learn that the game of Chinese checkers isn’t actually Chinese in origin; it was invented in Germany. • If you consider all the militaries throughout the world during World War II, 7 out of every 8 deaths were German or Russian combatants. • In most countries of Western Europe during medieval times, 90 percent of the population shared about a dozen first names. • A 19th-century Columbus, Ohio, man named Jonathan Jackson was exceedingly fond of cats. He was such a feline devotee, in fact, that upon his death in 1880, his will dictated that his estate was to be used to construct a home for cats, complete with dormitories, an infirmary, a rectory, rat holes, roofs for climbing and areas for “conversation.” There was even an auditorium where the residents would listen to accordion music every day. • During the final 6 miles of a pilgrimage to Lhasa, Tibet, a devout Buddhist will kiss the ground approximately 30,000 times. • Those who study such things say that a properly prepared mummy will be wrapped in about 490 feet of linen. • You may know that Philo Farnsworth invented the television, but you may not realize that his success didn’t bring him much happiness. Later in life he suffered from depression, developed a drinking problem (and accompanying ulcers) and had a nervous breakdown. *** Thought for the Day: “I’m not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.” -- Adlai Stevenson (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Along the way, Crapper invented many plumbing improvements and was awarded nine patents. However, the flush toilet had been invented by others long before Thomas Crapper came along. • Crapper’s inventions included a method of fitting underground drain pipes together which helped reduce disease by reducing leakage from sewer pipes. He also invented improvements to the float valve that helps regulate the flushing and refilling action of the toilet tank. • At one point he invented a spring-loaded toilet seat, which would automatically rise up when the seated person stood up. The lifting motion of the toilet seat triggered rods that automatically flushed the toilet. This design suffered from the unfortunate flaw that when the rubber gaskets began to age, they became sticky and would fail to lift until the pressure from springs became too great to resist. At this point the toilet seat would fly upwards, often smacking the unfortunate user on the rear. It became known as “the bottom slapper” and died an ignominious death.
• On Oct. 16, 1793, nine months after the execution of her husband, King Louis XVI of France, Marie-Antoinette follows him to the guillotine. At a time of economic turmoil in France, she lived extravagantly and allegedly responded to news that the French peasantry had no bread to eat by callously replying, “Let them eat cake.” • On Oct. 18, 1867, the U.S. formally takes possession of Alaska after buying the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than 2 cents an acre. The American public ridiculed the purchase, believing the land to be barren and worthless. • On Oct. 17, 1931, gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and ‘30s. FBI agent Eliot Ness and his men routinely broke up Capone’s bootlegging businesses, but it was tax-evasion charges that finally stuck. • On Oct. 12, 1940, cowboy-movie star Tom Mix is killed when he loses control of his speeding Cord Phaeton convertible and rolls into a dry wash in Arizona. Mix was hit in the back of the head by a heavy aluminum suitcase, killing him almost instantly. • On Oct. 13, 1957, American movie audiences are treated to the science-fiction thriller “The Amazing Colossal Man.” Other films of the Cold War nuclear-weapon culture included “Them!” (1954) and “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953). • On Oct. 14, 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis begins, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear conflict. High-altitude photographs offered evidence of Soviet-made medium-range missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. • On Oct. 15, 1989, Canadian ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky breaks Gordie Howe’s National Hockey League career scoring record of 1,850 points. Gretzky dominated professional hockey during the 1980s, setting numerous records. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• Because Crapper also owned his own foundry, he was able to manufacture his own pipes, fittings, and manhole covers. Today, the Crapper manhole covers in front of Westminster Abbey, which are inscribed: ‘T. Crapper & Co., Sanitary Engineers’ are a favorite stop for tourists who enjoy taking rubbings from them in the same way people take rubbings from tombstones.

Laughs! Life is like a roll of toilet paper: the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!
QUICK QUIZ: TISSUE • When brothers Irvin and Clarence moved to Philadelphia and started a paper business in the 1870s, they sold butcher paper, paper bags, and stationery from a push-cart. When they moved into a storefront, sales dropped. They needed a product that would be constantly in demand. • Just at that time, indoor plumbing was becoming popular. In private homes, people used catalogs in the bathroom. But hotels and restaurants, after going through the trouble of installing indoor plumbing, couldn’t bring themselves to put catalogs in bathrooms. • So Irvin and Clarence started experimenting with toilet tissue, an idea that had been around a while but had never caught on. First they manufactured stacks of individual sheets, but it was difficult to keep the pile neat. So they tried wrapping it around a cardboard tube. It worked. • They set up a factory, named the business after themselves, and started selling toilet paper directly to merchants since the issue was too delicate to bring up in polite society. • Gradually, they introduced their product to the public through advertisements aimed at snob appeal: “They have a pretty house, Mother, but their bathroom paper hurts.” • In 1907 an uncut roll of defective toilet paper material was delivered to their factory. It was heavy, wrinkled, and unsuitable for toilet paper. It was about to be returned when someone suggested marketing it as disposable ‘paper towels.’ Hotels, restaurants, and railroad stations bought them because they were more sanitary than cloth towels. • Irvin and Clarence’s business became the largest paper goods maker in the world, and was bought out by Kimberly-Clark in 1995. What’s the name of their company? (Answer on page 7.)

Tomorrowland (PG) -- What we once knew as “the part of Disney World that has Space Mountain” is now a feature-length futuristic adventure starring George Clooney. Casey (Brittany Robertson), a plucky, scienceoriented teen, finds a pin that takes her to a world of futuristic fancy. She meets up with a former boy-genius (Clooney) in the hopes that they can find their way back to Tomorrowland, where things are shiny, science is awesome, and mankind lives in harmony with the planet. The film is really, really fixed on this idea that science and society in general were better and more hopeful some decades ago, and that we need that old-time optimism once again if we’re going to make it through the various social and environmental problems of today. If you can stomach the preaching, it’s a fun ride for the kids, and a lot less expensive than a trip
Advertise today in Tidbits® of Bismarck! 701-391-2076 to Space Mountain. San Andreas (PG-13) -- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson brings a helicopter to an earthquake fight in this mega-disaster thriller. Ray Gaines (Johnson) is a rescue guy who needs to patch things up with his ex-wife so they can save their daughter from a super earthquake that’s rearranging California. Not much else to see or hear over the roaring special effects. It’s a big, loud spectacle that doesn’t bring much originality to the table. The real objective here is getting The Rock in a vehicle and watching it go. Some viewers may need to chug large quantities of soda or tea, as the boom and blunder is hard to appreciate without a raging sugar-rush. It’s fun, but not worth the consequences.

Manos: The Hands of Fate (R) -- This 1966 no-budget drive-in flop is lauded as the worst movie ever -- and it’s now remastered for BluRay!

They stop for the night a tiny lodge tended by Torgo, a scruffy weirdo whose exaggerated limp gets its own theme music every time he hobbles across the screen. There’s an undying dark priest in a stupid hand-themed robe, The Master, but he doesn’t evoke so much fear as pity, since he can get no peace from his harem of bickering immortal wives. Fair Warning: “Manos” is so bad that it’s challenging to finish.

• During World War I, cotton was used for surgical dressings and as filters in gas masks. As the war progressed, demand outstripped supply and it became urgent to find a substitute material. • The Kimberly-Clark company, a paper manufacturing firm based in Wisconsin, came up with a substitute called Cellucotton that was made from wood fibers. It made an excellent cotton substitute not only for gas masks but also for bandages.

• When the war ended, Kimberly-Clark had huge surpluses of Cellucotton on hand. Searching for a peace-time use for their product, in 1924 they came up with a tissue designed to remove cold cream make-up used by actors. It was a far better alternative than using towels and handkerchiefs to remove makeup. They called them Celluwipes at first, before settling on a new name. • Ads using movie stars convinced ladies that the tissues were the best way to remove makeup at the same time that Hollywood movie stars were convincing the American public that wearing makeup was acceptable.
• In 1928 the pop-up tissue dispenser was invented and the tissues began to be used as a disposable handkerchief, an idea proposed by a researcher who suffered from hay fever. The company introduced the slogan, ‘Don’t carry a cold in your pocket’ while pushing the sanitary Sports Quiz benefits of using the product.
