@thomdunn

so chances are that Jesus did not take a holy shit in it some 732 years later (unless he did so shortly after beating up those bankers, just to prove a point).

It was designed for comfortable sitting

A data-point in the sit vs squat controversy. Were there any signs on the wall?

The archaeologists also discovered some animal bones and pottery in the septic tank

Ugh, strange things were afoot at the Jerusalem Cafe!

No picture of him (sorry, Him) looking at his iPhone?

I will have to check again, but nowhere in the Bible is Jesus described as taking a dump, so therefore . . .

God don’t make no junk crap.

I am sure that didn’t stop enterprising residents selling the holy sh*t of Jesus Christ to some crusader, and it was enshrined as a first class relic in some cathedral somewhere.

A toilet found in Jerusalem is older than Jesus

… So it’s 34 years old?

This gives me an idea… I’d love for someone not-as-lazy-as-me to rewrite classic books with time appropriate bathroom breaks.

ie.

30 minutes into the last supper John said “sorry my dudes, I gotta take a leak, I didn’t eat lunch and all this wine is going straight through my system”

And the third wise man said “Excuse me, but I gotta use the bathroom, we’ve been walking for hours”

By chance, I saw this right after a friend sent me a link to modern/contemporary design – from Italy, no less – of a cubic toilet.
So sleek… so pure, immaculate in its conception… so not designed to accommodate human legs… just waiting for someone to mistake it for a washing machine and put their dirty clothes in it…
I thought, what would compel these designers to create something so ill-suited to its task. I should have realized it was a throwback to the timeless classics of the ancient Roman Empire.

I’d say that would have been unlikely but the Holy Foreskin was a relic, so why not?

Before Christ’s Toilet (BCT)

Now that’s some old shit.

After Christ’s Toilet (ACT)

The same old shit.

Well, it is halo-shaped, after all…

But is it bigger than Jesus?
