This is Johnny Henry of Laurel, Mississippi who has invented a vibrating toilet seat. "“This invention is designed to stimulate,” he told the Laurel Leader Call newspaper. “It’s to make you feel good while you are there.” More interesting to me than the invention is the odd composition of the photo. SAME WE CAN BELIEVE IN: The Obama administration has granted Defense Secty. Robert Gates new powers to block the release of 21 color photos showing prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq being abused by Americans. The ACLU sued for release of the images.

The Mandelbulb is an attempt to extrude the classic Mandelbrot Set fractal into three dimensions.

"When I say there is no water crisis, you must be wondering, 'Is this guy talking to his hat?'" That's how Asit Biswas led off his speech last month at the 2009 Nobel Conference.

Parisian artist Clémentine Henrion created these Helium Eternal Balloons. They're made from fabric. I think the effect is rather lovely.

Believe it or not, this concept has gone through my thought process before. Sometimes a few shakes helps everything go a lot smoother, think shaking a condiment bottle to get all the mustard out. Okay, not great analogy.

I'm sure you meant "facilitates high speed downloads";:D
The composition suggest shaking up more than down. A fluffer seat!

Yep, the vibrating toilet seat is the secret behind USB 3.
Vibrations are the motor oil for the universe.
So why not there ;)
But where I really want vibrations is on the bottom on my french press.
I assume it's powered by electrishity.
sorry.

Was that a joke? I dung get it.
I ask because if it's battery-powered, there are only so many hours you can log on it.
I've been to Laurel, MS. This man's toilet seat is probably the only source of stimulation in the whole town.

Can't believe this is making the rounds. I work for the local tv station in Hattiesburg/Laurel and one of our reporters interviewed this dude today, don't ask me why, I have NO idea. Should be airing at 6pm tonight.
Looks like a standard $20 cheapo toilet seat with a Craft-matic adjustable bed controller sitting next to it.

"...with a Craft-matic..."
Maybe a Crap-matic?
Maybe a Crap-number seat? What number are you? I'm a #2.

You *must* put the video up!
I'm sure the Japanese had this years ago.
Is that a real department of Corrections shirt?
Easy way to pass er, the time in prison.

Sorry, I don't get it. What's odd about the composition of the photo?
It's not supossed to "vibrate" so much as "shake the crap out of you".
Here is the video of the man's interview:

People for whom the Washlet just isn't stimulating enough will enjoy this.
We had a couple of good earthquakes the other day. I don't know that a vibrating toilet seat would really sell here.
