You can grind up and dissolve all the solids you want, but when you burn the liquid off, you still have the solids somewhere. It's like washing your windows with hard water in the sun and not dryng it. Try it.

Actually, Thomas Crapper didn't invent the first flushing toilet. The first flushing toilet was invented by Sir John Harrington.
Several centuries after Sir John's flushing toilet Crapper became successful in the plumbing industry and did earn nine patents for plumbing products in England. Unfortunately, none of those nine patents granted between 1861-1904 were for the flushing toilet.
The slang term for "crapper" originated from the American servicemen stationed in England during World War I where they saw his name on cisterns and used it as army slang, "I'm going to the crapper."
Maybe that's why the toilet is also referred to as the "john".
LOL! This thread has been fun and informative. I think you are probably right - always wondered where the "John" came from, and that is probably the origin not only of "crapper" , but probably the term "crap" itself!
