A toilet that allows one to crap on America? They could charge to use it and make a fortune from Democrats.

A toilet called “America.” Once upon a time that would have really offended me; now it is just sort of accurate, unfortunately.

To this day, the toilet has not been found. 🤔
When Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, Hungarian chemist George de Hevesy dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of German physicists Max von Laue (1914) and James Franck (1925) in aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from confiscating them. The German government had prohibited Germans from accepting or keeping any Nobel Prize after jailed peace activist Carl von Ossietzky had received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1935. De Hevesy placed the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute. It was subsequently ignored by the Nazis who thought the jar—one of perhaps hundreds on the shelving—contained common chemicals. After the war, de Hevesy returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid. The gold was returned to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Foundation. They re-cast the medals and again presented them to Laue and Franck.[12][13]

people were invited to use the fully functioning toilet at Blenheim Palace,
Museum curators are among the lowest of creatures, perhaps just above drug dealers and US Senators.

Prankster of the art world, huh? Does he take requests? If so, how about “Frog’s a$$ stretched over a rain barrel”? BUT, instead of the frog, we could use his.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the public.

I remember that some shower head manufacturer made a custom shower head out of gold and gifted it to Trump, way before the Russian thing.
I cannot find a link to the article, but it looks like these are available from a different company

There was a FR thread in that time-line of the theft of the throne.

A toilet called America isnt offensive anymore but one coming from the UK is laughable. They are in much worse shape.
